{{Elections in Montana}}

The 2020 Montana gubernatorial election was held on November 3, 2020, to elect the next governor of Montana, concurrently with the U.S. presidential election, as well as elections to the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives and various state and local elections. It resulted in voters selecting Greg Gianforte over Mike Cooney. Incumbent Democratic governor Steve Bullock was term-limited and could not seek a third consecutive term in office, and he ran unsuccessfully for Montana's Class II Senate seat.{{cite web |last1=Arkin |first1=James |title=Bullock enters Montana Senate race |url=https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/09/bullock-enters-montana-senate-race-124260 |website=POLITICO |language=en |date=March 9, 2020}}

Bullock's lieutenant governor, Mike Cooney, was the Democratic nominee, while the Republican nominee was Montana's at-large representative Greg Gianforte, who won the election, making him the first Republican governor of Montana since Judy Martz left office in 2005.{{cite web |last1=Gstalter |first1=Morgan |title=GOP Rep.

This election marked the first time since the 1920s that Republicans controlled all state constitutional offices and a majority of the Legislature.{{cite web |last1=Streep |first1=Abe |title=How Montana Took a Hard Right Turn Toward Christian Nationalism |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/11/magazine/montana-republicans-christian-nationalism.html |website=New York Times |language=en |date=Jan 11, 2023}}
