The 2012 United States presidential election in Kansas took place on November 6, 2012 as part of the 2012 General Election in which all 50 states plus The District of Columbia participated. Kansas voters chose six electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting incumbent Democratic President Barack Obama and his running mate, Vice President Joe Biden, against Republican challenger and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and his running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan. Romney and Ryan carried Kansas with 59.66% of the popular vote to Obama's and Biden's 38.05%, thus winning the state's six electoral votes.

Obama carried only two counties: Douglas, home to liberal Lawrence and the University of Kansas; and Wyandotte, home to Kansas City and the state's largest concentration of minority voters. In 2008, Obama also carried Crawford County in southeast Kansas, but failed to do so this time.
