The 2014 Hawaii gubernatorial election took place on November 4, 2014, to elect the Governor of Hawaii, concurrently with a special election to Hawaii's Class III Senate Seat, as well as other elections to the United States Senate in other states and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections.

Primary elections were held on August 9, 2014. In Hawaii, candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor run in separate primaries and are then elected on the same ticket. Incumbent Democratic Governor Neil Abercrombie ran for re-election to a second term in office, but was defeated by State Senator David Ige in the Democratic primary, making Abercrombie the first incumbent Governor to lose renomination in Hawaii history. Incumbent Democratic Lieutenant Governor Shan Tsutsui was renominated.

The Republicans nominated former Lieutenant Governor Duke Aiona and pastor and former circuit court judge Elwin Ahu. Also running as an Independent was former Mayor of Honolulu Mufi Hannemann and former Honolulu parks and recreation director Les Chang. Ige and Tsutsui won the election.
