The 1894 Nebraska lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 6, 1894, and featured Republican nominee Robert E. Moore defeating Populist and Democratic fusion nominee James N. Gaffin as well as Straight Democratic (anti-Populist) nominee Rodney E. Dunphy and Prohibition Party nominee Belle G. Bigelow.[1]

Incumbent Nebraska Lieutenant Governor Thomas J. Majors did not run for reelection as lieutenant governor since he decided to seek the office of governor of Nebraska. Although Silas A. Holcomb, the Populist and Democratic fusion nominee, won the gubernatorial election over Majors, the Republicans continued to hold the office of lieutenant governor with the victory of Robert E. Moore over James N. Gaffin.
