1968 United States presidential election in Maryland

The 1968 United States presidential election in Maryland was held on November 5, 1968, as part of the 1968 United States presidential election. Maryland was won by Hubert Humphrey by a margin of 20,315 votes against Richard Nixon and by 359,576 votes against George Wallace.

Maryland was the home state of Republican vice presidential nominee Spiro Agnew, who was the sitting Governor of Maryland at the time of the election. Since Nixon lost his home state of New York, this, along with the 1916 election, is one of two times where the winning presidential and vice-presidential candidates lost both of their home states.

This is one of three elections between 1888 and 2000 in which the state voted for the national loser, along with 1948 and 1980. This was George Wallace's strongest state in which he won no counties, though he did finish ahead of Humphrey in Dorchester County.

In this election, Maryland voted 2.34% to the left of the nation at-large.
