Local elections were held in Spain on 3 April 1979 to elect all 67,505 councillors in the 7,870 Spanish municipalities, all 1,450 provincial seats in 47 provinces (including 43 indirectly-elected provincial deputations and the four foral deputations in the Basque Country and Navarre) and 185 seats in ten island councils (seven Canarian and three Balearic ones). While the national ruling Union of the Democratic Centre (UCD) emerged as the largest party overall, an alliance between the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) and the Communist Party of Spain (PCE) saw municipal control over the main urban areas switching to left-wing parties.
