The 1932 United States presidential election in Ohio was held on November 8, 1932 as part of the 1932 United States presidential election. State voters chose 26 electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Ohio was narrowly won by the Democratic Party candidate, Franklin D. Roosevelt, with 49.88% of the popular vote. The Republican Party candidate, President Herbert Hoover, garnered 47.03% of the popular vote.[1] As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the only election since the Civil War in which Fulton County has voted for a Democratic presidential candidate,[2] and the last when Union County has done so.[3]

Ohio voted almost 15% more Republican than the nation amidst the Democratic landslide, a lean which it has not exceeded since.
