The 1996 United States presidential election in Nebraska took place on November 5, 1996. All 50 states and the District of Columbia, were part of the 1996 United States presidential election. Nebraska voters chose 5 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the President and Vice President.

Nebraska was won by Kansas Senator Bob Dole, who was running against incumbent United States President Bill Clinton of Arkansas. Clinton ran a second time with former Tennessee Senator and Al Gore as Vice President, and Dole ran with former New York Congressman Jack Kemp.

Nebraska weighed in for this election as 3% more third-party than the national average.

The presidential election of 1996 was a very multi-partisan election for Nebraska, with more than 11% of the electorate voting for third-party candidates. As was typical for the time, nearly every county in Nebraska turned out primarily for the Republican candidate - with the exception of the consistent Democratic stronghold of Saline County, and a few counties conglomerate with Sioux City, Iowa, in the Northeastern corner of Nebraska, which tended to vote Democratic at this time.
