The 1869 Wisconsin Supreme Court Chief Justice election was held on Tuesday, April 6, 1869, to elect the chief justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court for a ten-year term. Incumbent justice Luther S. Dixon was re-elected.
1869 was a regularly scheduled election. Dixon had recently been re-elected the previous year in a special election held because he had briefly vacated his seat (being re-appointed immediately thereafter) in order to receive a salary increase.[1] While he faced a fairly competitive race in 1868,[1] he faced no serious opposition in 1869.[2]
