1936 United States presidential election in New Mexico

The 1936 United States presidential election in New Mexico took place on November 3, 1936. All contemporary forty-eight states were part of the 1936 United States presidential election. State voters chose three electors to represent them in the Electoral College, which voted for President and Vice President.

New Mexico was won by incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt in a 26-point landslide against Kansas Governor Alf Landon. Roosevelt won every county in the state save Socorro County, which he lost by only 53 votes. Roosevelt was the first Democrat to ever carry San Miguel County and Valencia County, although this was the only occasion between statehood (in 1911) and 1960 that Valencia County backed a Democrat. This election is the last time a Democrat has carried Lincoln County and San Juan County has only backed a Democrat once (in 1964) since this election.

Union Party candidate William Lemke won 924 votes, 0.5 percent of the state's total.
