Recent measurements of processes involving the electroweak gauge bosons performed at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider are summarized. The high luminosity data collected by both the D0 and CDF experiments in pp-bar collisions at the center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV provide precise measurements of W and Z properties such as kinematic and differential distributions, asymmetries, masses, etc. In addition to that the gauge boson self-interactions are studied by measuring the production cross sections and probing the gauge boson couplings in a diboson production. The effect of Tevatron precise measurements on worldwide electroweak fits and the Higgs mass is also summarized.
