The 1954 Nebraska lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 2, 1954, and featured incumbent Nebraska Lieutenant Governor Charles J. Warner, a Republican, defeating Democratic nominee Stanley D. Long, a former member of the University of Nebraska Board of Regents, to win his fourth term as lieutenant governor.[1]

About a month shy of a year after this election, Charles J. Warner died on September 24, 1955, and thus the office of Nebraska Lieutenant Governor became vacant for over a year until it was filled in the 1956 election.[2]
