The 1882 California gubernatorial election was held on November 7, 1882, to elect the governor of California. This was the first election held under California's 1879 constitution which moved the election date for state officers to coincide with federal elections in non-presidential even-numbered years. The Democratic Party's nominee, George Stoneman won a decisive victory over the Republican Morris M. Estee. This was the fifth consecutive gubernatorial election in California in which the incumbent party was defeated.
