The Sardinian regional election of 1949 took place on 8 May 1949. The Italian Constitution of 1948 granted a special autonomy to Sardinia.
After the election Luigi Crespellani, a Christian Democrat, formed a government with the Sardinian Action Party, a social-democratic regionalist party, that eventually quit the government in 1951.
