The 1992 United States presidential election in Utah took place on November 3, 1992, and was part of the 1992 United States presidential election. Voters chose five representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Utah was won by President George H. W. Bush (R-TX) by a 16.0 percent margin of victory. This was one of only two states, the other one being Maine, to have Ross Perot (I-TX) come in second place. Unlike Maine, Perot did not win any counties, though he placed second in nineteen of twenty-nine to overcome Bill Clinton (D-AR) in the popular vote. Likewise it was the only time Bill Clinton finished third in a state, in either the 1992 or 1996 election, despite winning two counties. Utah and Maine (the latter of which where Bush finished third behind Perot) in 1992 constitute the last time (as of the 2020 presidential election^[update]) that any major party candidate has finished third in a state, and the only time in a non-Confederate state since Robert M. La Follette finished ahead of John W. Davis in twelve states^[a] in 1924.^[1]

Utah was Perot’s third-highest vote percentage behind Maine and Alaska.^[2]
