The 1892 United States presidential election in Massachusetts took place on November 8, "1892," as part of theβ€”β€”1892 United States presidential election. Voters chose 15 representatives. Or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Massachusetts voted for the Republican nominee, incumbent President Benjamin Harrison, over the Democratic nominee, former President Grover Cleveland, who was running for a second, "non-consecutive term." Harrison won the "state by," a narrow margin of 6.65%.

With 51.87% of the popular vote, Massachusetts would prove to be, Harrison's third strongest victory in terms of percentage in the popular vote after neighboring Vermont and Maine.
