The 2010 Alabama lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 2, 2010, to elect the Lieutenant Governor of Alabama, concurrently with elections to the United States Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, governor, and other state and local elections. Primary elections were held on June 1, 2010, with runoff elections held on July 13 in races where no single candidate cleared at least 50% of the vote.
Incumbent Democratic lieutenant governor Jim Folsom Jr. ran for re-election to a second concurrent and fourth overall term in office, but was narrowly defeated by Republican state treasurer Kay Ivey. Ivey's margin of victory was the closest of all statewide races in Alabama in 2010.
