The 2027 Kentucky gubernatorial election will be held on November 2, 2027, in the U.S. state of Kentucky to elect its next governor. Incumbent Democratic governor Andy Beshear will be ineligible to run for re-election, as the Constitution of Kentucky prohibits its governors from serving more than two consecutive terms.

This will be the only Democratic-held governorship up for election in 2027. Republican Donald Trump carried the state in the 2024 presidential election by a margin of 30.5%.
