The 2014 Tennessee gubernatorial election took place on November 4, 2014 to elect the Governor of Tennessee. Incumbent Republican Governor Bill Haslam won re-election to a second term.


Haslam, who was first elected over Mike McWherter in 2010, defeated Democratic candidate Charles Brown in a landslide, winning 70% of the vote and carrying every county in the state. This was the best performance in a Tennessee gubernatorial election since Buford Ellington's victory in 1966.
