2008 Italian general election in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol

The Italian general election of 2008 took place on 13–14 April 2008.

In Trentino the centre-right came first thanks to the strong showing of Lega Nord, while in South Tyrol the South Tyrolean People's Party was confirmed as the largest party, but lost many votes to its right-wing competitors, Die Freiheitlichen and Union for South Tyrol.
