The1927 Mississippi gubernatorial election took place on November 8, 1927, in order to elect theGovernor of Mississippi. Incumbent DemocratDennis Murphree, as he had not served a full term, was eligible for and ran for election. As was common at the time, the Democratic candidate ran unopposed in the general election; therefore the Democratic primary was the real contest, and winning the primary was consideredtantamount to election.
No candidate received a majority in the Democratic primary, which featured four contenders, so a runoff was held between the top two candidates. The runoff election was won by former GovernorTheodore G. Bilbo, who defeated incumbent GovernorDennis Murphree.
