Main article: ISO 3166-2
ISO 3166-2:ES is the entry in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions of Spain (whose ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code is ES).
Currently two levels of subdivisions are assigned codes:
- 17 autonomous communities — Each code consists of one or two letters.
- 50 provinces and 2 autonomous cities in North Africa — Each code starts with ES-, followed by one or two letters, which was originally used in the vehicle registration plates of Spain. The letters for the following provinces are taken from their capitals:

Current codes
Codes and subdivision names are listed as in the official standard published by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency (ISO 3166/MA). Click on the button in the header to sort each column.
Autonomous communities
These codes are defined in the official standard without the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of the country as prefix, and thus do not guarantee uniqueness in a global context by themselves. They can be completed by adding ES-.
