The Parliament of Cantabria is the unicameral legislature of the autonomous community of Cantabria. It consists of 35 members called "deputies" which are freely elected by the citizens of the region. The Parliament convenes at the Saint Raphael Hospital, an 18th-century building in the city of Santander rehabilitated in the 1980s to house the Regional Assembly.
Prior to 1998, the Parliament was called Regional Assembly of Cantabria.
Following the 2023 Cantabrian regional election, the People's Party has the plurality of seats and is the governing party.
