The 1792 Connecticut lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on April 9, 1792, in order to elect the lieutenant governor of Connecticut. Incumbent Federalist lieutenant governor Oliver Wolcott won a plurality of the vote in his re-election bid against fellow Federalist candidate and incumbent United States Senator from Connecticut Oliver Ellsworth and other candidates. However, as no candidate received a majority of the total votes cast as was required by Connecticut law, the election was forwarded to the Connecticut legislature, who chose Wolcott as lieutenant governor.
