The 1864 United States presidential election in Missouri took place on November 8, 1864, as part of the 1864 United States presidential election. Missouri voters chose eleven representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president^[2].

Missouri was won by the incumbent President Abraham Lincoln (R-Illinois), running with former Senator and Military Governor of Tennessee Andrew Johnson, with 69.72% of the popular vote, against the 4th Commanding General of the United States Army George B. McClellan (D–Pennsylvania), running with Representative George H. Pendleton, with 30.28% of the vote.^[2]
