The 1999 Madrid City Council election, also the 1999 Madrid municipal election, was held on Sunday, 13 June 1999, to elect the 6th City Council of the municipality of Madrid. All 53 seats in the City Council were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with regional elections in thirteen autonomous communities and local elections all throughout Spain, as well as the 1999 European Parliament election.

The People's Party (PP) won an absolute majority of seats for a third consecutive time, but, for the first time since the 1987 election the party lost votes and seats. The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) maintained its second place but reverted the decline it had been suffering since 1983. PSOE gains came at the expense of United Left (IU), which lost nearly half of its votes and seats.

As a result, José María Álvarez del Manzano was elected as Mayor of Madrid for a third term in office.
