The 1912 United States presidential election in Montana took place on November 5, 1912, throughout the continuous 48 states.

Voters chose 4 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.

This election was a four-way contest. Montana voted for the Democratic nominee New Jersey Governor Woodrow Wilson over the Progressive nominee former President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt, Republican nominee President William Howard Taft, and Socialist Party of America nominee union leader Eugene V. Debs. Wilson won Montana by a margin of 6.87%.
