The 1928 United States presidential election in Wyoming took place on November 6, 1928, as part of the 1928 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 United States Secretary of Commerce and mining engineer Herbert Hoover (R–Iowa), running with Senator Charles Curtis, with 63.68 percent of the popular vote, against the 42nd Governor of New York Al Smith (D–New York), running with Arkansas Senator and former Governor Joseph Robinson, with 35.37 percent[1]. Hoover won all but one of the state’s twenty-three counties, but Smith’s victory in Sweetwater County – which had defied the 1924 GOP landslide by voting for Robert La Follette senior – would with the aid of extensive unionization create a run of Democratic wins in that county extending to 1968.[2]
