The 2014 Nevada gubernatorial election was held on Tuesday, November 4, 2014, to elect the Governor of Nevada. Incumbent Republican governor Brian Sandoval won re-election to a second term in office, defeating Democratic nominee Bob Goodman in a landslide.[1] Sandoval won a higher percentage of the vote than any other incumbent governor in 2014.

Sandoval's coattails allowed Republicans to win both chambers of the legislature for the first time since 1931, thereby giving Republicans a trifecta in the state for the first time since then. As of 2024, this is the most recent time that the Republican candidate carried Clark County in a statewide race. As of 2024, this is the last time that the winner of the gubernatorial election carried all counties in Nevada.
