1939 Taiwanese local elections were held on 22 November 1939, electing half of the city and township councillors for the second time under Japanese rule.

After the authorities highlighting the solemnity and idealness of an election under the current situation, the cities banned door-to-door election campaign and advocated using less publications to reduce waste.

Although more seats were opened for election comparing with the last time, there were less candidates.

All Japanese mainlanders were elected in Shoka (now Changhua), Tainan, Takao (now Kaohsiung) and Heito (now Pingtung).

With 315,580 casting the votes, the turnout was over 90% in all regions, slightly higher than the last election.
