The 1883 Georgia gubernatorial special election was held on April 24, 1883, in order to elect the Governor of Georgia following the death of Governor Alexander H. Stephens. Democratic nominee and former member of Georgia State Senate Henry Dickerson McDaniel ran unopposed and thus won the election. It was the last special election for a Georgia state row office to be held in an odd year until the 2025 Public Service Commission special election.
