The 1783 New York Gubernatorial Election was held on April 2, 1783. There was one political party in New York by 1783, the Party for Democracy, but it had yet to gain major traction. 
Incumbent George Clinton was running again, this time on a more popular platform as the war began to wind down. Former Governor Philip Schuyler tried to run again, but his influence had significantly waned over the years. The Party for Democracy ran State Legislator Ephraim Paine for Governor, but with little influence they found it hard to take off.
==Results==
George Clinton won again with an impressive margin, blowing his competition out of the water.
