- The Fourth Legislature of Quebec was the provincial legislature of Quebec, Canada that existed from 1878 to 1881, following the general election of 1878. The 1878 election was called by Premier Henri-Gustave Joly de Lotbinière, leader of the Quebec Liberal Party, after he had been installed in office by the Lieutenant Governor Luc Letellier de St-Just. The Lieutenant Governor had dismissed the former Conservative Premier, Charles Boucher de Boucherville, over a dispute about railway legislation proposed by the Boucher de Boucherville government. Since the Liberals did not have a majority in the Legislative Assembly, Joly de Lotbinière called an election immediately. The election resulted in a hung parliament, with neither party having a majority in the Legislative Assembly. Joly de Lotbinière was able to stay in office for one year with a minority government, supported by two Independent Conservatives, but lost a confidence vote in 1879. The Quebec Conservative Party led by Joseph-Adolphe Chapleau then formed a majority government for the remainder of the term of the Legislature. The Legislature held four annual sessions, with the first session called on June 4, 1878. The Legislature was dissolved on November 7, 1881, leading to the 1881 general election on December 2, 1881.

- La 4e législature du Québec est élue lors des élections générales québécoises de 1878 tenue le 1er mai 1878. La législature dure jusqu'au 7 novembre 1881 au moment de la dissolution de l'Assemblée nationale. Le gouvernement libéral de Joly de Lotbinière tente de se maintenir au pouvoir tout en étant minoritaire à l'Assemblée nationale. Il perd un vote de confiance le 29 octobre 1879, et le lendemain, contrairement à ce que lui recommandait Joly de Lotbinière, le lieutenant-gouverneur Théodore Robitaille décide de demander au chef de l'opposition Joseph-Adolphe Chapleau de former un gouvernement conservateur. Le gouvernement Chapleau se poursuivra pour le reste de la législature. (fr)
