1968 Utah gubernatorial election

The 1968 Utah gubernatorial election was held on November 5, 1968. Democratic incumbent Cal Rampton defeated Republican nominee Carl W. Buehner with 68.71% of the vote. Rampton's victory was despite Republican candidate Richard Nixon winning the state with over 56% of the vote in the concurrent presidential election.

Rampton's share of the vote was the highest by any gubernatorial candidate in Utah to that point; Rampton would subsequently break his own record in the following election.

Primary elections were held on September 10, 1968.

Incumbent governor Cal Rampton was renominated without opposition.
