The 2010 Disparuean federal election was held on 7 May 2010 to elect members of the Commons of Disparu and the Senate of Disparu after several major changes to the governmental structure. The election yielded a under the Empire Party of Disparu, led by the incumbent Chancellor, Cynthia Celeste.

The need for an earlier federal election was seen when the Democratic Party reformed the Disparuean electorate system. Under the old system, nearly all high-profile positions in the Government were appointed via a national election, which could cause stalemates and deadlocks when two opposing parties are elected into two different governmental bodies. In the new system, elections for both the Senate and the Commons were merged into one election, the Chancellor gained the ability to allocate positions in the Executive Council, the ministerial seat distribution in the Executive Council was required to be to the seat distribution in the Commons, and political parties in the judiciary were banned. The voting age was also lowered from 18 to 14, and the age required to serve in office was raised from 18 to 20.
