The 2010 Nevada gubernatorial election was held on Tuesday, November 2, 2010, to elect the Governor of Nevada, who would serve a four-year term to begin on January 3, 2011.

Despite speculation that incumbent Republican Governor Jim Gibbons would not run for a second term due to problems and low popularity, he ran for re-election and was defeated in the Republican primary by former federal judge Brian Sandoval.

Sandoval defeated the Democratic nominee, Rory Reid, son of former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Democrat Harry Reid, in the general election.

A total of five Republican candidates filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada and qualified for the ballot.
