The1924 United States presidential election in Connecticut took place on November 4, 1924, as part of the1924 United States presidential election which was held throughout all contemporary 48 states. Voters chose seven representatives, or electors to theElectoral College, who voted forpresident andvice president.

Connecticut voted for theRepublican nominee, incumbent PresidentCalvin Coolidge ofMassachusetts, over theDemocratic nominee, AmbassadorJohn W. Davis ofWest Virginia. Coolidge ran with formerBudget DirectorCharles G. Dawes ofIllinois, while Davis ran withGovernorCharles W. Bryan ofNebraska. Also in the running that year was theProgressive Party nominee,SenatorRobert M. La Follette ofWisconsin and his running mate SenatorBurton K. Wheeler ofMontana. La Follette's support base was primarily among ruralGerman andScandinavian Americans,^[1] and he possessed little appeal in the Northeast outside a few New York and Bostonanti-Prohibition precincts.

Coolidge won Connecticut by a margin of 34.01%. His victory was also enjoyed a unique personal popularity which helped him in the state and the rest ofNew England. He was the epitome of a traditional New EnglandYankee, having been born in the small-town ofPlymouth Notch, Vermont, and establishing his political career nearby asGovernor of Massachusetts. Thus Coolidge remained especially popular with voters across the New England region.

The 1920s were a fiercely Republican decade in American politics, and Connecticut in that era was a fiercely Republican state in presidential elections. The economic boom and social good feelings of theRoaring Twenties under popular Republican leadership virtually guaranteed Calvin Coolidge an easy win in the state against the conservative Southern Democrat John Davis,^[2] who had little appeal in Northern states like Connecticut.

As of 2025, this was the last presidential election in which the Republican nominee carried the city ofHartford. This is the most recent election, as of 2025, where Connecticut voted to the right ofNew Hampshire. This was also the Republican Party's strongest margin in the state as of 2025.
