The 1954 New Mexico gubernatorial election took place on November 2, 1954, in order to elect the Governor of New Mexico. Incumbent Republican Edwin L. Mechem was term-limited, and could not run for reelection to a third consecutive term. Democrat John F. Simms defeated Republican Alvin Stockton, winning the largest share of the vote for any candidate since Clyde Tingley in 1936. Simms was the first Democrat since Tingley in 1936 to carry Torrance County and Valencia County.
