The 1848 New York gubernatorial election was held on November 7, 1848. Incumbent Governor John Young was not nominated for a second term in office by the Whig Party. The Whig nomination went to Hamilton Fish, who won the general election over split Democratic opposition following the defection of the "Barnburner" faction to form the new Free Soil Party.
