This is a list of members of the fourth Mpumalanga Provincial Legislature, as elected in the election of 22 April 2009. The African National Congress (ANC) retained its majority of 27 seats in the 30-seat legislature.[1] The Democratic Alliance also retained its two seats. The Freedom Front Plus, however, lost its representation in the legislature, ceding its seat to a new entrant, the Congress of the People.

When the legislature convened for its first session on 6 May 2009, the ANC's David Mabuza was elected as the fourth Premier of Mpumalanga.[2] He announced his Executive Council after his inauguration on 12 May.[3] Jackson Mthembu was elected as Speaker of the Mpumalanga Provincial Legislature, with Violet Siwela as his deputy.[2] However, Mthembu resigned from the position later in 2009 and was replaced by William Lubisi, who had formerly been Speaker during the legislature's first and second sessions. Likewise, Siwela was appointed to the Executive Council in February 2013 and was replaced as Deputy Speaker by David Dube.[4]

The legislature met for the last time on 27 March 2014 before entering recess ahead of the 2014 general election.[4]
