The 1954 Tennessee gubernatorial election was held on November 2, 1954, to elect the next governor of Tennessee. Incumbent Democratic Governor Frank G. Clement defeated Independent candidate John Randolph Neal Jr. with 87.2% of the vote.
In 1953, the Tennessee State Constitution was amended, extending the gubernatorial term from two years to four years. The new amendments prevented governors from serving consecutive terms, but a temporary exception was made for Clement. He was elected to a full four-year term after his initial two-year term.[1]
Primary elections were held on August 5, 1954.[2]
