The 1919 Massachusetts gubernatorial election was held on November 4, 1919. This was the last gubernatorial election before the governor's term was extended to two years and the first election following the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which granted women the right to vote.
Governor Calvin Coolidge was re-elected over Framingham businessman Richard Long in a landslide. This was a rematch of the previous year's contest. Coolidge would be elected Vice President of the United States in 1920 and succeed President Warren Harding upon Harding's death.
