The 1796 Kentucky gubernatorial election was held on 27 May 1795 in order to elect the Governor of Kentucky. Democratic-Republican candidate James Garrard was elected on the second ballot by an electoral college vote against fellow Democratic-Republican candidates Benjamin Logan, Thomas Todd and John Brown. The exact results of the second ballot are unknown.

Until 1800, Kentucky elected its governors through electors who were chosen via popular vote from the same districts as the Kentucky House of Representatives.
