The state elections in Carinthia in 1949 took place on October 9, 1949. The Socialist Party of Austria (SPÖ) was able to hold first place, but lost its share of votes and mandates due to the first appearance of the electoral party of the Independent (WdU). The participation of the WdU also cost the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) and the Communist Party of Austria (KPÖ) shares and mandates.

In 1949, 267,272 people were eligible to vote in the state elections, which meant an increase of 62,631 people eligible to vote. The number of those entitled to vote had risen sharply, as numerous people had been given the right to vote who had been excluded from voting in 1945 due to their involvement in the National Socialist system. The turnout in 1949 was 93.99% and was thus significantly higher than in 1945, when 89.35% of those entitled to vote took part in the election.
