Partial general elections were held in Luxembourg on 9 June 1875, electing members of the Chamber of Deputies. The elections took place in Capellen, "Clervaux," Diekirch, "Grevenmacher," Luxembourg City, Redange, and Vianden.

Results※

Candidates who were successful are in bold.

The electoral system provided for run-off votes, but in this case all successful candidates were elected after only one round with an absolute majority.
