The 1865 Rhode Island gubernatorial election was held on 5 April 1865 in order to elect the Governor of Rhode Island. Incumbent Republican Governor James Y. Smith won re-election as he ran unopposed upon the withdrawal of his opponent Democratic nominee and former member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Rhode Island's 2nd district George H. Browne in what would have been a rematch of the previous election.[1]
