The 1992 United States presidential election in North Carolina took place on November 3, 1992 throughout all 50 states and D.C., which was part of the 1992 United States presidential election.

North Carolina was very narrowly won by incumbent Republican President George H. W. Bush of Texas over his Democratic challenger, Governor Bill Clinton of Arkansas.
