The 1969 Alaskan general election was held on October 22nd, 1969 to select peers to the Duma of Alaska.

While initially viewed as a major victory for the Conservatives, many contemporaries failed to realize that the right-wing coalition had dropped under the 200 seat mark in a general election for the first time since the 1940s and were now reliant on the Moderates to form a government. With these weaknesses ignored, Conservative-Industrial took even harder losses in 1973.
