Calvin Lewellyn Rampton (November 6 1913ndash September 16 2007) was the Democratic governor of the state of Utah from 1965 to 1977.

Following his graduation from Davis High School in 1931, he took over his family's automobile business, due to his father's death that same year. He sold the business in 1933 and entered the University of Utah, graduating in 1936. Rampton married Lucybeth Cardon (1914 - 2004) on March 10 1940; they had four children.

The Calvin L. Rampton Complex, which houses the Utah Department of Transport and the Utah Department of Public Safety, was named in his honour. He was the first Utah governor to serve three terms, and was one of the most popular governors of the state.

In 2007, Calvin Rampton died of cancer, aged 93, in Holladay, Utah. Shortly after his passing, the Salt Palace Convention Center was also named in his honor.
