The 1924 United States presidential election in South Dakota took place on November 4, 1924, as part of the 1924 United States Presidential Election which was held throughout all contemporary 48 states. Voters chose five representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

South Dakota voted for the Republican nominee, incumbent President Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, over Progressive Party nominee, Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin and Democratic nominee, Ambassador John W. Davis of West Virginia. Coolidge ran with former Budget Director Charles G. Dawes of Illinois, while Davis ran with Governor Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska while La Follette ran with Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana.

Coolidge won South Dakota by a margin of 12.73 percent of the vote.

With 36.96% of the popular vote, South Dakota would prove to be La Follette's fifth strongest state in the 1924 election in terms of popular vote percentage after Wisconsin, North Dakota, Minnesota and Montana^[1].
