The 1912 United States presidential election in Michigan took place on November 5, 1912, as part of the 1912 United States presidential election. Michigan voters chose twelve representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Michigan was won by the 26th president of the United States Theodore Roosevelt (P–New York), running with governor of California Hiram Johnson, with 38.95% of the popular vote, against the 27th president of the United States William Howard Taft (R–Ohio), running with Columbia University President Nicholas Murray Butler, with 27.63% of the popular vote and Princeton University President Woodrow Wilson (D–Virginia), running with governor of Indiana Thomas R. Marshall, with 27.36% of the popular vote^[1].

Michigan was one of the few states where Democratic candidate Woodrow Wilson came in third behind former president of the United States Theodore Roosevelt and the current president of the United States William Howard Taft. As of the 2016 presidential election, this is the last election in which Ottawa County, Sanilac County, and Missaukee County did not support the Republican candidate.

With 38.95% of the popular vote, Michigan would prove to be Roosevelt's third strongest state in terms of popular vote percentage in the 1912 election after South Dakota and California^[2].
