Lewis Wolfley (October 8, 1839 – February 12, 1910) was an American civil engineer who served as the eighth governor of Arizona Territory. He is commonly regarded as the first territorial governor to be a resident of Arizona at the time of his appointment and was the only bachelor to hold the position.[A]

Wolfley's political career was marred by his almost complete lack of political skill.[2] Much of his time as governor was spent in political infighting, which eventually led to his resignation.
