The 1928 Montana gubernatorial election took place on November 6, 1928. Incumbent Governor of Montana John E. Erickson, who was first elected Governor in 1924, ran for re-election. Erickson only narrowly won the Democratic primary against future Governor Roy E. Ayers, and advanced to the general election, where he was opposed by Wellington D. Rankin, the Attorney General of Montana. Although Herbert Hoover carried the state in a landslide in the presidential election that year, Erickson managed to win re-election to his second term as Governor in a landslide over Rankin.
