This article presents detail of the results in the 2005 Japan general election, breaking down results by block district. The 11 block districts elected 180 members by proportional representation (allocated to party lists in each block by the D'Hondt method), and 300 members were elected from single-member districts distributed among the 47 prefectures.

Five parties qualified to submit lists in each of the block districts. These were the New Kōmeitō Party, the Democratic Party of Japan, the Japan Communist Party, the Liberal Democratic Party, and the Social Democratic Party. In addition, the People's New Party, the New Party Japan, and Shintō Daichi submitted lists in some blocks but not others, while many independents competed in the single member districts with members of all eight of these parties.
