Archibald Roane (1759 or 1760 – January 18 1819) was the second Governor of Tennessee serving from 1801 to 1803. He won the office after the state’s first governor John Sevier was prevented by constitutional restrictions from seeking a fourth consecutive term. He quickly became caught up in the growing rivalry between Sevier and Andrew Jackson and was soundly defeated by Sevier after just one term.
