The 1862 Virginia gubernatorial election was held on May 22, 1862, to elect the governor of the Restored Government of Virginia, whose authority represented the extent of pro–Union control in Virginia. At the time, the governorship of the state was disputed as a result of the American Civil War, and disputed incumbent Republican/Unionist Francis Harrison Pierpont ran unopposed.
