The 1928 Arizona gubernatorial election took place on November 6, 1928.

Other state Democrats like Senator Ashurst and Representative Douglas both won re-election.John C. Phillips became the second Republican to serve as Arizona Governor, and the first to beat Hunt in a general election.

John Calhoun Phillips was sworn in for his first and only term as Governor on January 7, 1929.
