The 1924 United States presidential election in Maryland took place on November 4, 1924. All contemporary 48 states were part of the 1924 United States presidential election. State voters chose 8 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.

Maryland was won by the Republican nominee, incumbent President Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, over the Democratic nominee, Ambassador John W. Davis of West Virginia. Coolidge ran with former Budget Director Charles G. Dawes of Illinois, while Davis ran with Governor Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska.
