List of former presidents of the United States who ran for office

This is a list of former presidents of the United States who ran for office (the presidency, a seat in Congress, or governor) after leaving office as president. It does not include presidents who sought reelection to a consecutive term while still in office. Prior to the passage of the 22nd Amendment, presidents could run for re-election without restriction; Donald Trump is the first president to seek a non-consecutive term since its passage.

Some presidents have been recruited, requested, or drafted to run again. This list, however, only includes those presidents who actively campaigned.
