The 1812 United States presidential election in New Hampshire took place between October 30 and December 2, 1812, as part of the 1812 United States presidential election. Voters chose five representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

New Hampshire voted for Federalist candidate and lieutenant governor of New York DeWitt Clinton over the incumbent Democratic-Republican President James Madison by a margin of 12.22%.

Although Clinton won the state's presidential election, he lost to Madison in the national presidential election, making this the third time New Hampshire voted for a losing candidate in its presidential voting history.
