The 2008 Washington lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 4, 2008. The top-two primary was held on August 19.

Incumbent Democratic lieutenant governor Brad Owen, first elected to the office in 1996, was re-elected to a fourth term in office, defeating Republican attorney Marcia McCraw in a landslide.
