The 2024 Vermont Republican presidential primary was held on March 5, 2024, as part of the Republican Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election. 17 delegates to the 2024 Republican National Convention will be allocated on a winner-take-most basis.[1] The contest was held on Super Tuesday alongside primaries in 14 other states. Nikki Haley won the primary against Donald Trump, making her the first woman to win a state in a Republican presidential primary.[2] Haley's win was considered a major upset, as a recent poll had shown Trump ahead by 30 points in the state.[3]

Results
Note: Percentage below are the unofficial results according to the Vermont Secretary of State and include write-in votes, overvotes and blank votes in the vote total. It seems unclear which vote total is used. Many media outlets (including the Associated Press) do not count write-in, overvotes and blank votes, resulting in 50.2% for Haley, which would allocate all 17 delegates to Haley. If write-in votes are included, it remains too close to call (either 17 for Haley or nine for Haley and eight for Trump).

| Nikki Haley | 36,241 | 49.32% | 9 | 9 | |
