The 1956 United States presidential election in Kansas took place on November 6, 1956, as part of the 1956 United States presidential election. Voters chose eight representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Kansas was won by incumbent President Dwight D. Eisenhower (R–Pennsylvania), running with Vice President Richard Nixon, with 65.44 percent of the popular vote, against Adlai Stevenson (D–Illinois), running with Senator Estes Kefauver, with 34.21 percent of the popular vote. Eisenhower, as expected, had no trouble carrying his boyhood home state, winning every county in the state except Wyandotte County, having spent his formative years in Abilene.
With 65.44 percent of the popular vote, Kansas proved to be Eisenhower's fifth strongest state after Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire and Nebraska.
