The 2019 Basilicata regional election took place on 24 March 2019. The election was for all 21 seats of the Regional Council of Basilicata and the president of Basilicata, who automatically became a member of the council alongside the second-placed candidate. This election was the last one in Italy before the 2019 European Parliament election and the third one of the 2019 Italian regional elections.
While the original election date was 26 May 2019, a snap election was called upon the resignation of the then incumbent president Marcello Pittella, a member of the Democratic Party, on 24 January 2019. After the subsequent dissolution of the Regional Council, the vice-president Flavia Franconi, also a member of the Democratic Party, became the acting president, while Carlo Trerotola was chosen as the candidate.
The election was won by the centre-right coalition and their presidential candidate Vito Bardi of Forza Italia, amid a divided centre-left coalition that was also marred by scandals. It was the centre-right coalition's first regional win in Basilicata since direct elections have been held since 1995 and Bardi was the first right-wing president since the office was established in 1970.
