The 1968 Arkansas gubernatorial election was held in the U.S. state on November 5, when incumbent Republican Winthrop Rockefeller defeated former speaker of the Arkansas House of Representatives Marion Crank by a small margin. Rockefeller was first elected in 1966, and was the first Republican to hold the office since Reconstruction. This was the first time a Republican was re-elected as governor of Arkansas, and would be the only time until 2002.
As of 2022, this is the last time that Chicot County and St. Francis County voted for the Republican candidate.
