The 2018 Maryland gubernatorial election was held on November 6, 2018. The date included the election of the governor, lieutenant governor, and all members of the Maryland General Assembly. Incumbent governor Larry Hogan and Lieutenant Governor Boyd Rutherford, both Republicans, were re-elected to a second term against Democrat Ben Jealous, the former NAACP CEO, and his running mate Susan Turnbull.

Hogan became the second Republican governor of Maryland to win re-election, and the first since 1954.[2] This was the first Maryland gubernatorial election in which both major party candidates received over one million votes.

As of 2023, this is the last time that a Republican won a statewide election in Maryland.
