On November 8, 1994, gubernatorial elections were held in 36 states and two territories across the United States. Many seats held by Democratic governors switched to the Republicans during the time known as the Republican Revolution. Notably, this marked the first time since 1969 that Republicans secured the majority of governorships in an election cycle.

Before the elections, 21 seats were held by Democrats, 14 held by Republicans, and one seat was held by an independent. After the elections, 11 seats would be held by Democrats, 24 by Republicans, and one seat by an independent.

The gubernatorial elections of 1994 occurred concurrently with the midterm elections for the Senate and House of Representatives. To date, it remains the last time that Democrats have won gubernatorial elections in Florida and Nebraska.
