1966 Massachusetts gubernatorial election

The 1966 Massachusetts gubernatorial election was held on November 8, 1966. Governor John A. Volpe was reelected to a four-year term. He defeated former Attorney General Edward J. McCormack Jr. in the general election. This was the first election held since Governor's term of office was extended from two to four years.

Governor Volpe was unopposed for renomination.

Volpe defeated McCormack by over a half million votes. He won the majority of the votes in every Massachusetts county. This was the last general election in which the Governor and Lt. Governor were elected separately.
