The 1994 Oklahoma lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 8, 1994, to elect the Lieutenant Governor of Oklahoma, concurrently with elections to the United States Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, governor, and other state and local elections. Primary elections were held on August 23, 1994, with runoff elections held on September 20 in races where no single candidate cleared at least 50% of the vote.
Incumbent Democratic lieutenant governor Jack Mildren was eligible to run for re-election to a second term in office, but announced in January 1994 he would instead run for governor. During what would later became known as the Republican Revolution, Republican state representative Mary Fallin defeated Democratic community activist Nance Diamond to become the first female and first Republican lieutenant governor in the state's history.
