The 1974 Guamanian gubernatorial election was held on November 5, with a runoff on November 14.

The Republican primary was hotly contested, with incumbent governor Carlos Camacho narrowly winning re-nomination with only 298 votes against future governor Paul McDonald Calvo. Despite this loss, Calvo ran a robust write-in campaign that was well-funded. He formed a third party in the territory called the Write-In for '74 Party, winning third with 28% of the vote and forcing a runoff between Camacho and Democratic challenger Ricardo Bordallo, the latter of whom ended up winning the election. Because of their official status as a political party, two Write-In for '74 Party members were appointed to the Electoral Commission, both of whom resigned their posts in July 1975 after the party officially disbanded.
