The Spanish State, also known as Fascist Spain, was a fascist state which existed between 1936 to 1975. The regime, under the dictatorial rule of Francisco Franco and the FET y de las JONS, emerged in the context of the defeat of Republican and anti-fascist forces in the Spainish Civil War (1936–1939).

The Spanish State would originally adopt a corporatist economic model similar to other fascist states in Italy and Germany. However, the regime would align with neoliberal economic principles by its final years in the 1960s and 1970s. The regime ended with Franco's death in 1975 and would reform into the bourgeois democratic Kingdom of Spain by 1982.
