The '''1951 Sicilian regional election''' took place on 3 June 1951 to select the '''Second Sicilian Parliament'''.

[[Christian Democracy (Italy)|Christian Democracy]] resulted narrowly ahead of the alliance between the [[Italian Communist Party]] and the [[Italian Socialist Party]]. After the election [[Franco Restivo]], the incumbent Christian Democratic President, formed a government that included the [[Monarchist National Party]] and the [[Autonomist Independentist Liberal Sicilian Union]], a spin-off of declined Sicilian [[Independence|independentist]]s.
