The 1862 Rhode Island gubernatorial election was held on 2 April 1862 in order to elect the Governor of Rhode Island. Incumbent Governor William Sprague IV won re-election as he ran unopposed.[1] Sprague was nominated by Rhode Island's Union Party, a coalition of Democrats, conservative Republicans, and ex-Whigs that had supported him in the two previous elections. Unlike in 1861, the regular Republican Party did not run a candidate against Sprague, choosing instead to support the popular incumbent.[2]
