The Louisiana gubernatorial election of 1920 was held on April 20, 1920. Like most Southern states between Reconstruction and the civil rights era, Louisiana's
Republican Party had virtually no electoral
support. This meant that the Democratic Party primary held on January 20 was the real contest over who would be governor. The election resulted in the election of John M. Parker as governor of Louisiana.
