The 2022 Wyoming gubernatorial election took place on November 8, 2022, to elect the governor of Wyoming. Incumbent Republican Governor Mark Gordon won a second term against Democratic Wyoming State Facilities Commission member Theresa Livingston.
Livingston's vote percentage was the lowest for a Democratic candidate running for governor in Wyoming since it was admitted to the union in 1890, falling short of Leslie Petersen's 22.90% performance in 2010. Gordon won by the widest margin in the state's history, winning by 58.3 points and becoming the first Republican to win every county since 2010.
Livingston's 15.82% of the vote was the weakest performance by a major party candidate in any state since that of Republican Dan Maes in Colorado in 2010. However, that election featured a candidate from the Constitution Party taking 36.38% of the vote. Livingston's performance was also the worst in a two-party race since Republican Elvin McCary's 14.8% in Alabama in 1974.
