The 26th Filmfare Awards were held in 1979.

Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki and Muqaddar Ka Sikandar led the ceremony with 9 nominations each, followed by Satyam Shivam Sundaram with 6 nominations, and Don and Trishul with 5 nominations each.

Don and Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki won 3 awards each, thus becoming the most-awarded films at the ceremony, with the former winning Best Actor (for Amitabh Bachchan), and the latter winning Best Film and Best Actress (for Nutan).

The ceremony was notable as Nutan became the first actress in the history of Indian Cinema to win Best Actress 5 times, breaking the record held by Meena Kumari (with 4 wins) for 13 years. She was nominated for both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress for Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki, winning the former. Her niece Kajol matched her record 32 years later, at the 55th Filmfare Awards with her 5th win for My Name Is Khan (2010).

Sanjeev Kumar received dual nominations for Best Actor for his performances in Devata and Pati Patni Aur Woh, but lost to Amitabh Bachchan, who himself received triple nominations in the category for his performances in Don, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar and Trishul, winning for the former.

Legendary filmmaker Satyajit Ray won his first and only Filmfare award at the ceremony, winning Best Director for Shatranj Ke Khilari.
