A municipal election was held in Madrid on Sunday, 26 May 2019, to elect the 11th City Council of the municipality. All 57 seats in the City Council were up for election. It was held concurrently with regional elections in twelve autonomous communities and local elections all across Spain, as well as the 2019 European Parliament election.
The election saw incumbent mayor Manuela Carmena's More Madrid platform becoming the largest political force in the City Council, the first time since 1987 than a party other than the People's Party (PP) did so, but the net loss of two seats for the left-from-centre bloc—including the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE)—deprived them of a majority. Instead, the opposition PP, despite obtaining its worst historical result in a municipal election in Madrid, was able to get its candidate José Luis Martínez-Almeida as the new local mayor through an alliance with the liberal Citizens (Cs) and the far-right Vox.
