The 1813 Connecticut lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on April 12, 1813, in order to elect the lieutenant governor of Connecticut. Democratic-Republican candidate Isaac Spencer received a plurality of the votes against Federalist candidate and incumbent United States Senator from Connecticut Chauncey Goodrich and Federalist candidate and former member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Connecticut's at-large district Calvin Goddard. However, since no candidate received a majority in the popular vote, Chauncey Goodrich was elected by the Connecticut General Assembly per the Connecticut Charter of 1662.
