William Howard Taft Republican Woodrow Wilson Democratic The 1912 United States presidential election in Kansas took place on November 5, 1912, as part of the 1912 United States presidential election.

Kansas was won by Princeton University President Woodrow Wilson (D–New Jersey), running with governor of Indiana Thomas R. Marshall, with 39.30 percent of the popular vote, against the 26th president of the United States Theodore Roosevelt (I[a]–New York), running with governor of California Hiram Johnson, with 32.88 percent of the popular vote, the 27th president of the United States William Howard Taft (R–Ohio), running with Columbia University President Nicholas Murray Butler, with 20.47 percent of the popular vote and the five-time candidate of the Socialist Party of America for President of the United States Eugene V. Debs (S–Indiana), running with the first Socialist mayor of a major city (Milwaukee) in the United States Emil Seidel, with 7.33 percent of the popular vote.

This is the only election when heavily Yankee Brown County has voted for a Democratic presidential candidate, and also the only election until 2020 when Riley County – another heavily Yankee county in the Dissected Till Plains of northeastern Kansas – has not supported the official Republican nominee.

This feat would be shared by North Dakota in the same election, but the only other occurrence has been in Missouri in 1860.
