The 1872 Nebraska gubernatorial election was held on October 8, 1872. Three-term incumbent Governor of Nebraska David Butler was impeached and removed from office on June 2, 1871.

James as acting governor, filling out the remainder of Butler's term. In 1872, James decided not to seek election to the governorship.
