The 1942 South Carolina gubernatorial election was held on November 3, 1942, during World War II, to select the Governor of South Carolina. Olin D. Johnston won the Democratic primary and ran without opposition in the general election on account of South Carolina's effective status as a one-party state, winning a second non-consecutive term as Governor of South Carolina.
Democratic primary
Candidates

Johnston and Wyndham Meredith Manning, the third attempt for both candidates. Olin Johnston emerged victorious in a tight race and effectively became the next governor of South Carolina because there was no opposition in the general election.
