The 1820 United States presidential election was the ninth quadrennial presidential election. It was held from Wednesday, November 1, to Wednesday, December 6, 1820. Taking place at the height of the Era of Good Feelings, the election saw incumbent Democratic-Republican President James Monroe win re-election without a major opponent. It was the third and the most recent United States presidential election in which a presidential candidate ran effectively unopposed. As of 2024, this is the most recent presidential election where an incumbent president was re-elected who was neither a Democrat nor a Republican, before the Democratic-Republican party split into separate parties. James Monroe's re-election marked the first time in U.S. history that a third consecutive president won a second election. This happened again with Barack Obama's re-election in 2012, following Bill Clinton in 1996 and George W. Bush in 2004, which all three consecutive presidents won their re-election campaigns. At no other point have multiple consecutive presidents won two elections. Monroe is also the first candidate to receive over 200 electoral votes for president.

Missouri Territory was formed just after Louisiana was admitted to fill the old space of the Louisiana Purchase. In 1820, they split off a portion of Missouri Territory into what would become the new state of Missouri. However, the heated debate had begun after Congress could not decide whether its electoral votes in the upcoming election would count, or if it should be rejected and would vote in 1824. This debate would later be overshadowed with issues regarding the expansion of slavery out west, and whether Missouri would be a free or slave state.
