The 2019 Riojan regional election was held on Sunday, 26 May 2019, to elect the 10th Parliament of the autonomous community of La Rioja. All 33 seats in the Parliament were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with regional elections in eleven other autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain, as well as the 2019 European Parliament election.

The election saw the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) becoming the most-voted political force in a regional election in La Rioja for the first time since 1991, allowing the party to elect her candidate, Concha Andreu, as new regional president through an alliance with Unidas Podemos. The ruling People's Party (PP), which had governed the region without interruption since 1995, obtained the worst result in its history.
