A statutory referendum on the approval of the Basque Statute of Autonomy was held in the Basque Country on Sunday, 5 November 1933. Voters were asked whether they ratified a proposed draft Statute of Autonomy of the Basque Country. Article 12 of the Spanish Constitution of 1931 allowed for Spanish provinces to be organized into "autonomous regions", provided that a regional Statute was proposed by a majority of the provinces' municipalities comprising at least two-thirds of the provincial population and that two-thirds majority of all those eligible to vote accepted the draft Statute.

| - A statutory referendum on the approval of the Basque Statute of Autonomy was held in the Basque Country on Sunday, 5 November 1933. Voters were asked whether they ratified a proposed draft Statute of Autonomy of the Basque Country. Article 12 of the Spanish Constitution of 1931 allowed for Spanish provinces to be organized into "autonomous regions", provided that a regional Statute was proposed by a majority of the provinces' municipalities comprising at least two-thirds of the provincial population and that two-thirds majority of all those eligible to vote accepted the draft Statute. The referendum resulted in 96.7% of valid votes in support of the draft Statute on a turnout of 93.7%, representing 84.0% of the electorate. The draft Statute was subsequently submitted to the consideration of the Spanish Cortes, which initially rejected it on 28 January 1934 with a 125–136 result as a consequence of popular support not reaching the required two-thirds majority in the province of Álava, where it stood at 46.4% due to boycott from carlists. After the Popular Front's victory in the 1936 general election, the Statute was finally approved on 1 October 1936, though its application would be severely limited as a result of the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War.
