Fourth Age 48 (abbreviated to Fo.A. 48 or F.O.) is the 48th year of the Sun of the Fourth Age of Middle-earth. Unless otherwise stated, Tolkien Gateway follows Shire usage in Appendix B for reckoning Fourth Age years: Fourth Age 48 was also known as S.R. 1469 in Shire-reckoning.

Notable events in this year include:

Samwise Gamgee is elected as Mayor of Michel Delving for his seventh and final term.^[1]

-In the reckoning [[Gondor]], Fourth Age years began on the first day of the month of [[Víressë]], which corresponded to [[25 March]] in the Shire Calendar.<ref>{{App|Calendars}}</ref>  Since mayoral elections in [[the Shire]] occurred on Mid-year's Day ''after'' 25 March, Sam's re-election as mayor is definitely in Fourth Age 49.
