United States gubernatorial elections were held in 1907, in eight states.
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland and Mississippi held their gubernatorial elections in odd numbered years, every 4 years, preceding the United States presidential election year. New Jersey at this time held gubernatorial elections every 3 years. It would abandon this practice in 1949. Massachusetts and Rhode Island both elected their governors to a single-year term. This was the last time Rhode Island elected its governors to a single-year term, as it switched to two-year-terms from the 1912 election.
Oklahoma held its first gubernatorial election on achieving statehood.
