The 1934 Wyoming gubernatorial election took place on November 6, 1934. Incumbent Democratic Governor Leslie A. Miller ran for re-election to his second term, and his first full term, following his initial election in the 1932 special election. Miller faced Republican Alonzo M. Clark, his predecessor as governor, in the general election. Despite the closeness of Miller's first election, he took advantage of the nationwide Democratic landslide and easily defeated Clark.
