The 1962 Maine gubernatorial election took place on November 6 1962. Incumbent Republican Governor John Reed had been elected in 1960 in a special election to finish the final two years of Clinton Clauson’s term following his death and was seeking a full term of his own. He faced off against Democratic challenger Maynard C. Dolloff. Reed was re-elected by one of the narrowest margins in Maine history – 483 votes.
