The Stockholm municipal election of 1988 was held on 18 September 1988 concurrently with the 1988 Swedish parliamentary election. This election used a party-list proportional representation system to allocate the 101 seats of the Stockholm City Council (Stockholms stadsfullmäktige) amongst the various Swedish political parties. Voter turnout was 81.4%.
The Swedish Centre Party returned to the Stockholm City Council this year after dismal results in 1985 deprived them of a mandate.
This election is the fourth in which the Stockholm Party succeeded in winning seats on the Stockholm City Council. It marks the high water mark of the Stockholm Party's electoral success.
