The 2027 Kentucky gubernatorial election will be held on November 2, 2027. Incumbent Democratic Governor Andy Beshear will be ineligible to run for re-election, as the Constitution of Kentucky prohibits the state's governors from serving three consecutive terms.

This will be the only Democratic-held governorship up for election in 2027. Republican Donald Trump carried the state in the 2024 presidential election by a margin of 30.5%.
