The 1932 United States presidential election in New Mexico took place on November 8, 1932. All 48 States were part of the United States presidential election. New Mexico voters chose three electors to represent them in the Electoral College, which voted for President and Vice President.

New Mexico was won by New York Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt in a 27 point sweep-out landslide against incumbent president Herbert Hoover, who failed to gain reelection.^[1] Hoover proved to be a better foreign charity organizer than U.S. President during these early years of the Great Depression,^[2] and was overwhelmingly voted out of office.
