The 1964 United States presidential election in Colorado took place on November 3, 1964, as part of the 1964 United States presidential election. State voters chose six[1] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Colorado was won by incumbent President Lyndon B. Johnson (D–Texas), with 61.27% of the popular vote, against Senator Barry Goldwater (R–Arizona), with 38.19% of the popular vote.[2][3]

As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last election in which Archuleta County, Baca County, Crowley County, Custer County, Delta County, Douglas County, El Paso County, Fremont County, Grand County, Jackson County, Kiowa County, Kit Carson County, Lincoln County, Logan County, Mesa County, Moffat County, Montezuma County, Montrose County, Morgan County, Park County, Rio Blanco County, Rio Grande County, Sedgwick County, Teller County, Weld County, or Yuma County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate. Colorado would not back a Democrat in a presidential election again until 1992. Arapahoe County, Jefferson County and Ouray County would not vote Democratic again until 2008, and Chaffee County would not vote Democratic again until 2012. [4] This was the last time until 2020 that a Democrat would carry Colorado by a double-digit margin.
