The 1800 Massachusetts gubernatorial election was held on April 7.
Federalist Caleb Strong was elected over Democratic-Republican Elbridge Gerry.
Lieutenant Governor Moses Gill, who had been acting as Governor since the June 7 death of Increase Sumner, preferred to run for re-election to that position, and he won re-election in a concurrent election. However, he received a significant number of votes for Governor as well.
Acting Governor Gill actually died before the 1801 term began, leaving the Governor's Council to conduct gubernatorial duties until Strong's term started.
