The 1946 Alabama gubernatorial election took place on November 5, 1946, to elect the Governor of Alabama. Incumbent Democrat Chauncey Sparks was term-limited, and could not seek a second consecutive term.
At the time this election took place, Alabama, as with most other southern states, was solidly Democratic, and the Republican Party had such diminished influence that the Democratic primary was the de facto contest for state offices.
As no candidate received a majority of votes, a runoff election was held.
