The North Carolina gubernatorial election of 1984 was held on November 6, 1984. Popular Democratic incumbent Jim Hunt was unable to run for another term and ran instead for the Senate against Jesse Helms and lost. Popular 9th District Congressman James G. Martin ran as the Republican nominee against Democratic Attorney General Rufus L. Edminsten who defeated Hunt's Lt. Governor James Green.
Martin won by a comfortable margin on election day thanks to the surprise endorsement of Green, and President Reagan's coattails.
