There have been two Spanish Republics:
- First Spanish Republic (1873–1874)
- Second Spanish Republic (1931–1939)
Spain is not currently a republic, but a constitutional monarchy. After the Second Republic's fall, General Franco declared Spain to be a monarchy, though he did not permit a monarch until his death in 1975.
