The 2024 United States presidential election in Rhode Island was held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Rhode Island voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Rhode Island has four electoral votes in the Electoral College.

A New England state, Rhode Island has not voted for a Republican candidate since 1984, when Ronald Reagan won in a 49-state landslide. It is a deeply blue state, being one of three states (along with Hawaii and Massachusetts) in 2020 to have every county vote for Democrat Joe Biden.

Although Harris won the state comfortably, including every county, this was the closest election in Rhode Island since 1988, with Trump decreasing his margin of defeat by 7% compared to 2020.

Trump flipped three municipalities from 2020: Richmond, West Warwick, and Woonsocket, becoming the first Republican to win the latter since Ronald Reagan in 1984.
