In [[Spain]], dubbing has been more widespread since 1932, when the [[Second Spanish Republic|Second Republic]] decided to introduce it in Madrid and Barcelona.

In Spain, practically all foreign television programs are shown dubbed in [[Spanish language|European Spanish]], as are most films. Some dubbing actors have achieved popularity for their voices, such as [[Constantino Romero]] (who dubs [[Clint Eastwood]], [[Darth Vader]] and [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]'s ''[[The Terminator|Terminator]]'', among others) and Óscar Muñoz (the official European Spanish dub-over voice artist for [[Elijah Wood]] and [[Hayden Christensen]]). Currently, with the spread of [[digital terrestrial television]], viewers can choose between the original and the dubbed soundtracks for most movies and television.

In some regions such as [[Catalonia]], [[Galicia (Spain)|Galicia]] and [[Basque Country (autonomous community)|Basque Country]], some foreign programs are also often dubbed into [[Catalan language|Catalan]], [[Galician language|Galician]], or [[Basque language|Basque]].
