The 1904 United States presidential election in Nevada took place on November 8, 1904 throughout all 45 states, which was part of the 1904 United States presidential election. Voters chose three representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.

Nevada was won by the Republican ticket of incumbent President Theodore Roosevelt NY) and Senator Charles W. Fairbanks (IN) by margin of 23.79 percentage points,[1] roughly mirroring the results of the national popular vote. After the state had voted overwhelmingly for James B. Weaver and William Jennings Bryan during the three previous elections, Roosevelt claimed the state for the Republican Party for the only time between 1888 and 1920.

Following this election, Nevada would eventually become a bellwether that reflected the results of every Presidential election with the exceptions of 1908, 1976 and 2016.
