The 1846 New York gubernatorial election was held on November 3, 1846. Incumbent Governor Silas Wright ran for a second term in office but was defeated by John Young. Young won with the support of the Anti-Rent movement, an armed insurgency of tenant farmers who rebelled against the existing feudal system of landholding.
