The 1944 Minnesota gubernatorial election took place on November 7, 1944. Republican Party of Minnesota candidate Edward John Thye defeated Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party challenger Byron G. Allen. As the Democratic Party of Minnesota and Farmer-Labor Party merged earlier in the year, this was the first gubernatorial election in which the parties ran a combined ticket. The vote change below reflects the departure from the combined Democratic and Farmer-Labor totals in 1942.
