The 1932 United States presidential election in Maryland took place on November 8, 1932, as part of the 1932 United States presidential election. State voters chose eight[2] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Maryland was won by Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt (D–New York), running with Speaker of the House John Nance Garner, with 61.50% of the popular vote, against incumbent President Herbert Hoover (R–California), running with Vice President Charles Curtis, with 36.04% of the popular vote.[3][4]
