The Ibero-American Exposition of 1929 (Spanish: Exposición iberoamericana de 1929; Portuguese: Exposição Ibero-Americana de 1929) was a world's fair held in Seville, Spain, from 9 May 1929 until 21 June 1930. Countries in attendance of the exposition included: Portugal, the United States, Brazil, Uruguay, Mexico, Peru, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, Bolivia, Panama, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Ecuador. Each Spanish region and each of the provinces of Andalusia were also represented.

General Miguel Primo de Rivera, then Prime Minister of Spain, gave the opening address. Primo de Rivera allowed the Spanish King Alfonso XIII to give the final words and officially open the exposition. The purpose of the exposition was to improve relations between Spain and the countries in attendance, all of which have historical ties with Spain through either colonisation (parts of Spanish America and the United States) or political union (Portugal and Brazil). Other countries were represented at the International section in Barcelona.
