The 2014 Alaska gubernatorial election took place on November 4, 2014, to elect the Governor and Lieutenant Governor of Alaska, concurrently with the election of Alaska's Class II U.S. Senate seat, as well as other elections to the United States Senate in other states and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections.
Incumbent Republican Governor Sean Parnell ran for re-election to a second full term in office, but incumbent Lieutenant Governor Mead Treadwell did not; he ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate. Primary elections were held on August 19, 2014, to determine party nominees for the office, with separate primaries held for governor and lieutenant governor and the winners running together on the same ticket.
Parnell was renominated; his running mate was Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan. The Democrats nominated businessman and former executive director of the Alaska Permanent Fund Byron Mallott, whose running mate was State Senator Hollis French. Also running as an Independent was former Republican Mayor of Valdez Bill Walker, whose running mate was Craig Fleener, the former Deputy Commissioner of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
