Local elections were held in Marinduque on May 13, 2019, as part of the 2019 Philippine general election. Voters selected candidates for all local positions: a town mayor, vice mayor and town councilors, as well as members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, a vice-governor, a governor and a representative for the lone district of Marinduque in the House of Representatives.

In this election, a number of provincial-level officials sought reelection, including incumbent congressman Lord Allan Jay Velasco. This was the first election since the 1970s where Carmencita Reyes, who had previously served both as congressman and governor, did not running for office, having died in January 2019.
