The 1996 United States presidential election in Ohio took place on November 5, 1996. All 50 states and the District of Columbia, were part of the 1996 United States presidential election. Ohio voters chose 21 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the President and Vice President.

Ohio was won by incumbent United States President Bill Clinton of Arkansas, who was running against Kansas Senator Bob Dole. 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.

Ohio weighed in for this election as 2% more third-party than the national average.

The presidential election of 1996 was a very multi-partisan election for Ohio, with over 11% of the electorate voting for third-party candidates. Most counties in the state turned out more for Dole than Clinton. Two notable exceptions to this trend were Cleveland's Cuyahoga County, and residents of several counties on the Eastern border with Pennsylvania, who voted largely for Clinton.
