The 1810 New York Gubernatorial Election was held on November 1, 1810. 
In 1807 leading up to the Presidential Election of 1808, Governor Amo Gus removed the New York popular vote for President, no doubt giving him an advantage in the election after winning New York, this controversial decision lead to a general downturn in Constitutional Democratic support in the state, and giving Gus's successor, Stephen Van Rensselaer, a bad reputation. 
Despite general disapproval over Van Rensselaer, most of his party still supported him, giving him the renomination for the 1810 race. Most of Van Rensselaer's in-party opposition centralized around State Legislator Jonas Platt, who had entered the race with the Yankee Party. The People's Labour Party had also organized to run Representative John Tremble for his second attempt. Lastly the Democratic-Republicans tried to run Daniel D. Tompkins again.

John Tremble was able to defeat Van Rensselaer in the match-up thanks to Platt splitting the vote.
