The 1924 United States presidential election in New Mexico took place on November 4, 1924. All 48 States were part of the United States presidential election. New Mexico voters chose three electors to represent them in the Electoral College, which voted for President and Vice President.

New Mexico was won by incumbent President Calvin Coolidge, who ran against West Virginia Congressman John W. Davis, and Progressive Party icon Robert La Follette. That Coolidage won New Mexico with less than half of the electorate is telling of the critical split in the rapidly liberalizing Democratic Party, which was occurring at this time between the traditional Democrats and the more radical Progressive Party.^[1] Such a split in the liberal vote was common across many States in this election, including many rural States.
