The 1976 United States presidential election in Michigan was held on November 2, 1976, as part of the 1976 United States presidential election.

Michigan was won by the incumbent President Gerald Ford, who won his home state with 51.83% of the vote, a victory margin of 5.39 points over Carter, thereby carrying its 21 electoral votes. This result made Michigan about 7.5% more Republican than the nation at large. However, he narrowly lost the general election to Democratic candidate Jimmy Carter. This marked the last time a Democrat won the presidency without carrying Michigan, although Democrats won the popular vote without the state in 2016. Carter also became the first Democrat to win the White House without carrying Macomb County since Woodrow Wilson in 1916. The state would not vote for a losing candidate again until 2000, and for the loser of the popular vote until 2004.

As of the 2024 presidential election, this is the final occasion of only four where Michigan and Pennsylvania voted for different presidential candidates ever since the Democrats and Republicans became the two major parties in U.S. politics.[2][a] This is also the last time that Michigan voted more Republican than Texas, Oklahoma, or Florida; and that the Democratic candidate lost Michigan but won neighboring Ohio. Gogebic County would not vote more Democratic than Wayne County again until 1984.
