The 1886 Nebraska lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 2, 1886, and featured incumbent Nebraska Lieutenant Governor Hibbard H. Shedd, a Republican, defeating Democratic nominee Charles J. Bowlby as well as Prohibition Party nominee E. B. Graham and National Union Party nominee M. K. Lewis.^[1]

The National Union Party was founded just prior to the election of 1886 and appears to have been a precursor to the later populist movement in Nebraska.^[2] One source refers to the party as the "anti-monopoly party."^[3] The party was very closely associated with various figures such as John H. Powers^[4] and Charles Van Wyck who were later prominent in the populist movement.^[2][5][6]
