The 1992 United States presidential election in New Hampshire took place on November 3, 1992, as part of the 1992 United States presidential election. Voters chose four representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

New Hampshire was won by Governor Bill Clinton (D-Arkansas) with 38.91% of the popular vote over incumbent President George H. W. Bush (R-Texas) with 37.69%. Businessman Ross Perot (I-Texas) finished in third, with 22.59% of the popular vote. Clinton ultimately won the national vote, defeating incumbent President Bush. This was the best result the New England-born Bush would record in that region for the 1992 election.

Clinton's win marked the beginning of a dramatic shift in New Hampshire politics toward the Democratic Party. The state had been regarded as a Republican bastion, having previously voted Republican in every presidential election starting in 1948 except for Lyndon B. Johnson's 1964 landslide. In 1988 Bush carried the state by over 26 points, making it his second-best state in that election. Nevertheless, like the rest of New England, New Hampshire began trending hard toward the Democratic Party in the 1990s, and starting in 1992 the state has voted Democratic in every presidential election except 2000 when Bush's son eked out a narrow plurality over Clinton's vice president, Al Gore. This marked the first presidential election since 1912 in which a non-incumbent Democrat carried New Hampshire.
