The 1944 United States presidential election in Missouri took place on November 7, 1944, as part of the 1944 United States presidential election. Voters chose 15 representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Missouri was won by incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt (D–New York), running with Senator Harry S. Truman, with 51.37% of the popular vote, against Governor Thomas E. Dewey (R–New York), running with Governor John Bricker, with 48.43% of the popular vote.
Despite winning the state, Roosevelt's victory margin of less than three percentage points was historically poor for a nationally-successful Democrat, and the state weighed in as 4.56% more Republican than the nation at-large.
