The 1924 United States presidential election in Montana took place on November 4, 1924, throughout the continuous 48 states. Voters chose 4 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.

Montana voted for the Republican nominee, President Calvin Coolidge, over the liberal third party candidate Robert La Follette who ran as a Progressive and the Democratic nominee, former United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom John W. Davis. Coolidge won Montana by a margin of 4.59%.

Coolidge was credited for the booming economy while the Democratic electorate was divided between the conservative Davis and the liberal third party candidate Robert La Follette who ran as a Progressive and chose Montana Senator Burton K. Wheeler as his running mate. This was the first presidential election in which all American Indians were citizens and thus allowed to vote.
