The 1892 United States presidential election in Wyoming took place on November 8, 1892, as part of the 1892 United States presidential election. Wyoming voters chose three representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Wyoming was won by President Benjamin Harrison (R–Indiana), the 28th United States Ambassador to France Whitelaw Reid, with 50.52 percent of the popular vote, against representative James B. Weaver (P–Iowa), running with the Attorney General of Virginia, James G. Field, with 46.14 percent of the popular vote.[1] President-elect Grover Cleveland was not on the ballot in Wyoming because his supporters fused with Weaver in an effort to deny Harrison Wyoming’s electoral votes.[2]
