The 1956 United States presidential election in Alabama took place on November 6, 1956, as part of the 1956 United States presidential election. Alabama voters chose eleven representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.
Alabama was won by Adlai Stevenson (D–Illinois), running with Senator Estes Kefauver, with 56.52% of the popular vote against incumbent President Dwight D. Eisenhower (R–Kansas), running with Vice President Richard Nixon, with 39.39% of the popular vote.
