The 1958 Tennessee gubernatorial election was held on November 4, 1958, to elect the next governor of Tennessee. Incumbent Democratic Governor Frank G. Clement was ineligible to run for re-election, as the Constitution of Tennessee prohibited governors from serving consecutive terms at the time. Democratic nominee Buford Ellington defeated former Governor, Independent Jim Nance McCord, and Republican opponent Tom Wall with 57.5% of the vote.
