The 1964 United States presidential election in Nevada took place on November 3, 1964, as part of the 1964 United States presidential election. State voters chose three[2] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Nevada was won by incumbent President Lyndon B. Johnson (DTexas), with 58.58% of the popular vote, against Senator Barry Goldwater (RArizona), with 41.42% of the popular vote.[3][4]

As of the 2020 presidential election, this is the last election in which Elko County, Humboldt County, Pershing County, Lander County, Lincoln County, and Eureka County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate. Washoe County and Carson City did not vote Democratic again until 2008.[5] This was also the last election until 1992 that a Democratic presidential candidate carried Nevada, and the last until 2008 in which the party received a majority of the vote.
