The 1972 United States presidential election in Nebraska took place on November 7, 1972, as part of the 1972 United States presidential election. Nebraska voters chose five representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.

Nebraska was won by incumbent President Richard Nixon (R–California), with 70.5% of the popular vote, against George McGovern (D–South Dakota), with 29.5% of the popular vote.

In a state that would reflect McGovern's national results, the Democratic nominee did not win a single county in Nebraska.
