The 2026 Wisconsin gubernatorial election is scheduled to take place on November 3, 2026, to elect the governor of Wisconsin. The primary election will take place on August 11, 2026. Incumbent Democratic governor Tony Evers declined to seek re-election to a third term.

This will be one of five Democratic-held governorships up for election in 2026 in a state won by President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election and the state with the closest presidential margin of victory, just under one percentage point. This is the first Wisconsin gubernatorial election since 2010 in which the incumbent was not seeking re-election.
