The 1908 Minnesota gubernatorial election took place on November 3, 1908. Democratic incumbent John Albert Johnson defeated republican challenger Jacob F. Jacobson. Johnson would become only the second governor of Minnesota to be elected to a third term, the first being John S. Pillsbury in 1879. Johnson would not then become the second governor to serve three full terms, as he would die while only eight months into office in September of 1909.
