The 1812 United States presidential election in Massachusetts took place between November 1 and 3, 1812, as part of the 1812 United States presidential election. Voters chose 22 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.
During this election, both candidates technically ran as Democratic-Republicans as the Federalist Party chose not to field a candidate nationally. While DeWitt Clinton won all 22 Massachusetts state electors by a wide margin of 30.02%, he lost the general election to the incumbent president James Madison.

Notes
- ^ While commonly labeled as the Federalist candidate, Clinton technically ran as a Democratic-Republican and was not nominated by the Federalist party itself, the latter simply deciding not to field a candidate. This did not prevent endorsements from state Federalist parties (such as in Pennsylvania), but he received the endorsement from the New York state Democratic-Republicans as well.
