The 1876 Florida gubernatorial election was held on November 7, 1876. Democratic nominee George F. Drew narrowly defeated Republican incumbent Marcellus L. Stearns with 50.51% of the vote. This started a 90-year streak of losses for the Republican Party in Florida, and they would not retain the governorship until 1966.
