The State Great Khural (Mongolian: Улсын Их Хурал, Ulsyn Ikh Hural, also State Great Hural; English: State Great Assembly) is the unicameral parliament of Mongolia. It is located in the Government Palace.

The first Ulsyn Ikh Hural was called to session in November 1924. This body was the legislature of the Mongolian People's Republic. It delegated much of its powers to an executive committee, the Ulsyn Baga Hural (Little Khural). The Great Khural held nine sessions between November 1924 and February 1949. Following electoral reforms in 1951, the numbering of its sessions began again. The first was held in July 1951 and the third in July 1957.

In 1960 a new constitution was adopted and the body was renamed the "People's Great Khural" (Ardyn Ikh Hural), but the sessions were not renumbered. The fourth took place in July 1960 and the last in September 1992. In Russian and Mongolian historiography, the term "People's Great Khural" is frequently extended back to refer to the 1924–60 Khural to distinguish it from the post-1992 State Great Khural.

The first free, democratic and multi-party election in Mongolia was held in 1990. Then the newly elected parliament changed the Constitution, established the State Baga Hural which replaced the People`s Great Hural as the highest legislative body. This elected the first Chairman, Radnaasumberel Gonghigdroj, and the first Chairman of the Secretariat, Byaraa Chimed.
