The 1948 Tennessee gubernatorial election was held on November 2, 1948. Former Democratic Governor Gordon Browning once again sought the party's nomination for governor. In the hardly fought primary, Browning comfortably defeated Governor Jim Nance McCord.[1] In the general election, Browning easily defeated Republican nominee Roy Acuff with 66.9% of the vote.
Before this election, Gordon Browning was last elected governor of Tennessee in 1936. He lost his re-election primary in 1938, and he failed the first time to defeat Governor McCord in 1946.
