The 1948 United States presidential election in Arizona took place on November 2, 1948, as part of the 1948 United States presidential election. Arizona voters chose four[2] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Arizona was won by incumbent President Harry S. Truman (D–Missouri), running with Senator Alben W. Barkley, with 53.79% of the popular vote, against Governor Thomas Dewey (R–New York), running with Governor Earl Warren, with 43.82% of the popular vote.[3][4]

As of the 2016 presidential election, this is the last election in which Maricopa County and Yavapai County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.[5] Coconino County would never vote Democratic again until 1992, Navajo County not until 1976, whilst Apache, Cochise, Mohave and Pima Counties would next vote Democratic for Lyndon Johnson in 1964.[6] This is also the last election where a Democratic presidential candidate carried every county in the state. This would be the second to last time that Arizona would vote Democratic. Had Bob Dole won the state in 1996, this would have been the longest Republican voting streak for any state in recent political history.
