This is a list of members of the sixth Limpopo Provincial Legislature, as elected in the election of 8 May 2019 and taking into account changes in membership since the election. The legislature served until 28 May 2024, when it was dissolved ahead of that month's general election.

Following the election of 8 May 2019, the legislature held its first sitting on 22 May 2019, with Judge President Ephraim Makgoba presiding. The legislature elected Stan Mathabatha as Premier, Mavhungu Lerule-Ramakhanya as Speaker, and Essob Mokgonyana as Chief Whip. Jerry Ndou was Deputy Speaker. The chairpersons of the legislature's committees were formally appointed in July 2019.

Lerule-Ramakhanya joined the Executive Council of Limpopo in March 2020, and Rosemary Molapo succeeded her as Speaker in July 2020. In October 2022, Ndou was transferred from the provincial legislature to the National Council of Provinces, and he was succeeded as Deputy Speaker by Tshitereke Matibe.
