1951–52 Tercera División

Tercera División
Season	1951–52
	← 1950–51 1952–53 →

The 1951–52 Tercera División season was the 16th since its establishment.

Format

16 clubs in 6 geographic groups (96 clubs) participated. Three withdrew before the end of the season. The 6 group winners were promoted to the Segunda División. It had been planned to reorganise the Segunda and Tercera Divisiónes but the plan was never implemented and the Promotion play-offs had no consequence. The bottom three clubs in Groups I and II of the Segunda División were relegated and no other Tercera División clubs were promoted.
