A presidential election was held in Indiana on November 6, 1888, as part of the 1888 United States presidential election. The Republican ticket of Indiana's own junior U.S. senator Benjamin Harrison and the former U.S. ambassador to France Levi P. Morton defeated the Democratic ticket of the incumbent president Grover Cleveland and the former U.S. senator from Ohio Allen G. Thurman. Harrison defeated Cleveland in the national election with 233 electoral votes.
This was the last presidential election held in Indiana using the party ticket system. Following this election, allegations of widespread fraud and abuse associated with the use of tickets printed and distributed by the parties led to the adoption of the Australian ballot for future contests.
