The 2008 North Dakota gubernatorial election took place on November 4, 2008 for the post of Governor of North Dakota. Incumbent Republican governor John Hoeven was easily reelected again, defeating Democratic-NPL challenger Tim Mathern. The primaries took place on June 10, 2008. John Hoeven outperformed John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, by about 21%. McCain defeated Democratic nominee Barack Obama 53%–45% in the concurrent presidential election.

In 2022, voters voted in favor of Constitutional Measure 1 to term-limit governors. Doug Burgum, who was in his second term when the measure passed, would have been eligible to run for a third under grandfather clause, but he ultimately chose not to, making this election the last time an incumbent ran for a third consecutive term.
