The 1916 United States presidential election in Kansas was held on November 7, 1916. Kansas voters chose ten electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Kansas voted for the Democratic nominee, incumbent President Woodrow Wilson, over the Republican nominee, U.S. Supreme Court Justice and former New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes. Wilson won Kansas by a margin of 5.86 percentage points.
As of the 2024 presidential election, this is the last election in which Osborne County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate. Johnson County would not vote for a Democrat for President again until Joe Biden won it in 2020. The 1916 election was the second and last time that Kansas has voted more Democratic than the nation (the first being the 1896 election), the last time it voted more Democratic than New Mexico or Oregon, and the only time until 2020 that it voted more Democratic than neighboring Missouri.
