The United States gubernatorial elections of 1975 were held on November 1, 1975, in Louisiana, and three days later in Kentucky and Mississippi. No governorships changed hands in these elections, as all three southern states remained under Democratic control.
This was the first gubernatorial election in Louisiana's history which was conducted under the Nonpartisan blanket primary (AKA Jungle Primary) format.
