The 1990 Ohio gubernatorial election was held on November 6, 1990. Incumbent Democratic Governor of Ohio Dick Celeste was unable to run for a third term due to term limits, thus creating an open seat. Former Mayor of Cleveland George Voinovich, who also ran for the United States Senate in 1988, was uncontested for the Republican nomination, while Ohio Attorney General Anthony J. Celebrezze Jr. emerged from the Democratic primary. In the end, Voinovich was able to defeat Celebrezze by a fairly wide margin, enabling him to win what would be the first of two terms as governor.
