The 1992 Likud leadership election was held on 20 February 1992 to elect the leader of the Likud party. It saw the members of Likud's Central Committee reelect incumbent leader and prime minister Yitzhak Shamir, who defeated challenges from David Levy and Ariel Sharon

Both of Shamir's challengers had previously run against him for leadership (Levy in 1983 and Sharon in 1984).
