'''Majelis Tinggi''' adalah salah satu dari dua "kamar" dalam [[sistem dua kamar]]. Pasangan lainnya dari Majelis Tinggi adalah [[Majelis Rendah]]. Di banyak negara, majelis ini seringkali memiliki kekuasaan yang spesifik dan terbatas, karena umumnya kekuasaan Majelis Rendah lebih besar. Dalam sistem parlementer, Majelis Tinggi biasanya hanya berperan sebagai pemberi saran atau revisi atas legislasi, namun tidak memulai legislasi itu sendiri.
