The 1896 Wisconsin gubernatorial election was held on November 3, 1896.
Incumbent Republican Governor William H. Upham retired.[1]
Republican nominee Edward Scofield defeated Democratic nominee Willis C. Silverthorn with 59.67% of the vote. Scofield's popular vote share was the highest in the state's history for a gubernatorial candidate to that point, reflecting the state's transition from a Republican-leaning but competitive state to one dominated by the Republicans.
