The 2011 Spanish regional elections were held on Sunday, 22 May 2011 in Spain, to elect the regional parliaments of 13 of the 17 autonomous communities: Aragon, Asturias, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Cantabria, Castile-La Mancha, Castile and León, Extremadura, Madrid, Murcia, Navarre, La Rioja and the Valencian Community. Andalusia, Catalonia, Galicia and the Basque Country did not held elections that day because they had separate electoral cycles. Municipal elections were held throughout Spain the same day.

The days before the elections were marked by the protests which had been held in different cities across Spain since 15 May.

The elections resulted in a landslide victory for the opposition People's Party (PP). The governing Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) was beaten in every region, including Extremadura and Castile-La Mancha, which the party had held since the first regional elections in 1983. The PP won outright majorities in 8 out of the 13 communities, and was able to govern in another 2 through pacts.
