The 1916 United States presidential election in Ohio was held on November 7, 1916. State voters chose 24 electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Ohio was won by the Democratic Party candidate, incumbent President Woodrow Wilson, who won the state with 51.86 percent of the popular vote. The Republican Party candidate, Charles Evans Hughes, garnered 44.18 percent of the popular vote. Wilson's large margin of victory was attributed to Ohio's large German-American population at the time, who favored Wilson.
As a result of his win in Ohio, Wilson became the first Democratic presidential candidate since Andrew Jackson in 1832 to win Ohio with a majority of the votes, although three Democrats in the intervening period – Wilson himself in 1912, Franklin Pierce in 1852, and Lewis Cass in 1848 – had won the state with pluralities.
As of the 2024 presidential election, this is the last election in which Delaware County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate, the longest county voting streak for either party in the state.
