Following is a table of United States presidential elections in Maine, ordered by year. Since its admission to statehood in 1820, Maine has participated in every U.S. presidential election. Prior to 1820, much of the territory currently comprising the state of Maine was part of the state of Massachusetts, and citizens residing in that area have thus been able to participate in every U.S. election.

Since 1972, Maine awards two electoral votes based on the statewide vote, and one vote for each of the two congressional districts. However, it is rare that this results in a split vote. It has done so twice, in 2016 and 2020.^[1] The only other state to allow for split electoral college votes is Nebraska.^[2]

Winners of the state are in bold. The shading refers to the state winner, and not the national winner.
