The 1936 New Mexico gubernatorial election took place on November 3, 1936, in order to elect the Governor of New Mexico. Incumbent Democrat Clyde Tingley won reelection to a second term. Tingley was the first Democrat to ever carry San Miguel County and Valencia County in a gubernatorial election; the latter did not back a Democrat again until 1954. Torrance County voted Democratic for the first time since 1922 and as with Valencia County, would also not vote Democratic again until 1954.
