The 2010 St. Louis County Executive election took place on November 2, 2010. Incumbent County Executive Charlie Dooley ran for re-election to a second full term. He won the Democratic primary by a closer margin than expected, and faced attorney Bill Corrigan, the Republican nominee, in the general election.
