The 1810 Connecticut gubernatorial election took place on April 9, 1810.[1]

Federalist Lieutenant Governor John Treadwell had become acting Governor on the death of Governor Jonathan Trumbull Jr. on August 7, 1809.

Treadwell was elected to a term in his own right, defeating Democratic-Republican nominee Asa Spalding and Federalist nominee Roger Griswold.

Since no candidate received a majority in the popular vote, Treadwell was elected by the Connecticut General Assembly per the Connecticut Charter of 1662.
