2022 Maine Gubernatorial Election
The 2022 Maine gubernatorial election took place on November 8, 2022, to elect the governor of Maine. Incumbent Democratic governor Janet Mills won re-election to a second term.

An independent candidate, Sam Hunkler, received 2% of the vote, the lowest total for a third party or independent candidate since 1982.
