The 2024 United States presidential election in Nebraska took place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States presidential election in which all 50 states and the District of Columbia participated. Nebraska voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. Nebraska has five electoral votes.

Nebraska is one of two states — the other being Maine — that allocates their electoral votes separately by congressional district in addition to two electoral votes going to the statewide winner. The 2nd congressional district, which contains Omaha and some of its suburbs, has been competitive since 2008, when Obama narrowly won the district, making it the first time in 44 years that a Democrat won any of the state's electoral votes. In recent years, the district has leaned Democratic. In 2020, the district flipped back to the Democratic column, backing Joe Biden by 5.9%, despite the state voting Republican by a landslide margin.

Trump improved his margin statewide but lost the 2nd district again; while redistricting between the 2020 and 2024 elections had made the district more conservative, Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris carried it by 4.6%. Tim Walz, the running mate of Kamala Harris and governor of Minnesota, was born and raised in Nebraska.
