The 1944 United States presidential election in Ohio was held on November 7, 1944, as part of the 1944 United States presidential election. State voters chose 25 electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Ohio was narrowly won by Republican Party candidate Thomas E. Dewey with 50.18% of the popular vote; Dewey's running mate was incumbent Ohio Governor John W. Bricker. The Democratic candidate, incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt got 49.82% of the popular vote. This election was one of only three occasions since 1892 that Ohio has voted for a losing candidate, the others being in 1960 for Richard Nixon and 2020 for Donald Trump.^[1]

This also marks the last time and the only time since 1884 that Ohio voted for a candidate who never won the presidency, as Nixon would win the White House later in 1968 and Trump was already the incumbent president in 2020.
