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

New Hampshire 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. Excluding the formerConfederacy where the lower classes were almost entirelydisfranchised, New Hampshire would prove La Follette's third-weakest state – and overall, New Hampshire was La Follette's tenth-weakest of 48.

Coolidge won New Hampshire by a margin of 25.11% of the vote, although this was marginally lower than his national margin of 25.22% over Davis.

The 1920s were a fiercely Republican decade in American politics, and New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire apart from being the only pro-League of Nations candidate.^[3] New Hampshire would still prove Davis’ third-strongestantebellum free state behindIndiana andRhode Island. Due to La Follette's lack of appeal vis-à-vis his Midwest and Western support base, both Coolidge and Davis exceeded their national vote share by around five percent in New Hampshire.

Coolidge 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 in neighboringVermont, and establishing his political career in neighboring Massachusetts as the state'sgovernor. Thus Coolidge remained especially popular with voters across the New England region.
