A presidential election was held in Indiana on November 4, 1924, as part of the 1924 United States presidential election. The Republican ticket of the incumbent president of the United States Calvin Coolidge and the director of the Bureau of the Budget Charles G. Dawes defeated the Democratic ticket of the former U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom John W. Davis and the governor of Nebraska Charles W. Bryan. The Progressive ticket of the senior U.S. senator from Wisconsin Robert M. La Follette and the junior U.S. senator from Montana Burton K. Wheeler finished a distant third. Coolidge defeated Davis and La Follette in the national election with 382 electoral votes.

The Indiana Ku Klux Klan was the subject of major controversy and played an active role in the campaign. The Klan had intervened successfully in the state's Republican primary and dominated the Republican state convention, which nominated a slate of candidates endorsed by Grand Dragon D. C. Stephenson. Coolidge attempted to distanced himself from the Klan by campaigning separately from the state Republican candidates, but was endorsed by the Fiery Cross, the official publication of the Klan in Indiana. Davis and the state Democratic ticket denounced the Klan and campaigned for votes from African-Americans, who were a traditionally Republican constituency; prominent Black community leaders formed the Independent Voters League to encourage Black Hoosiers to abandon the Republican Party. Despite his lukewarm response to the Klan's outreach, regression analysis indicates Coolidge received the overwhelming support of Indiana Klansmen, including those who had previously supported Democrats. Klansmen were 10 percent more likely to support La Follette than the general population, despite his poor showing in the state, while Davis polled between 70 and 80 percent of the Black vote in Indianapolis.
