The 1932 Maine gubernatorial election took place on September 12, 1932. Incumbent Republican Governor William Tudor Gardiner did not seek re-election. Democratic candidate Louis J. Brann defeated Republican candidate Burleigh Martin. Brann was the first Democrat elected Governor of Maine since Oakley C. Curtis in 1914, and the first Democrat to receive a majority of the popular vote since Frederick W. Plaisted in 1910. This election ended a streak of eight consecutive Republican gubernatorial victories in Maine.
