The 7th National Assembly of Pakistan was the legislature of Pakistan formed after the 1985 Pakistani general election, which was held on a non-party basis during the military rule of General Zia-ul-Haq. The Assembly was the lower house of the bicameral Majlis-e-Shura and had a total strength of 237 members: 207 general seats, 20 reserved seats for women, and 10 seats for minorities.
The first session of the Assembly was held on 20 March 1985. Muhammad Khan Junejo was nominated prime minister by President Zia-ul-Haq and received a vote of confidence on 24 March 1985. Syed Fakhar Imam served as Speaker from 22 March 1985 to 26 May 1986, and Hamid Nasir Chattha succeeded him on 31 May 1986. Wazir Ahmed Jogezai served as Deputy Speaker throughout the Assembly's tenure. The official list of opposition leaders records Muhammad Saifullah Khan from 23 March 1985 to 19 March 1987, followed by Syed Fakhar Imam from 3 May 1987 until the dissolution of the Assembly.
During its tenure, the Assembly passed the Eighth Amendment in November 1985, which inserted Article 58(2)(b) and expanded presidential power to dissolve the National Assembly. President Zia-ul-Haq used that power to dissolve the Assembly on 29 May 1988.
