The Goiás gubernatorial election, 2010 will be held on October 3, as part of the general elections in Brazil. In this election, the 4 million citizens from the state of Goiás eligible to vote will determine the successor to incumbent Governor Alcides Rodrigues, from the center-right Progressive Party (PP).

Rodrigues is constitutionally forbidden to run, once he finished Marconi Perillo's term as his Vice-Governor in 2006, when Perillo left the office to run for the Senate. During his administration, Rodrigues parted ways with his predecessor, and is supporting the candidacy of Vanderlan Cardoso, former mayor of Senador Canedo, from the Republic Party (PR). In spite of the Governor's support for Cardoso, the leading candidates are former Governors Iris Rezende of the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (PMDB), and Marconi Perillo of the Brazilian Social Democratic Party (PSDB). Other candidates are Washington Fraga from the Socialism and Liberty Party (PSOL) and Marta Jane from the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB). If none of the candidates achieve more than a half of the valid votes, a run-off will be held on October 31, 2010.

On October 3, citizens from Goiás will also choose their representatives in both Federal (Chamber of Deputies and Senate) and local level (Legislative Assembly) legislatures, in addition to the next President of Brazil.
