The 1920 United States presidential election in Michigan took place on November 2, 1920, as part of the 1920 United States presidential election. Michigan voters chose fifteen representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Republican candidate Warren G. Harding won Michigan in a landslide, carrying over 70% of the vote to Democratic opponent James M. Cox's 22%. Harding received the largest share of the popular vote in a presidential election for Michigan at the time, though that record would be broken only four years later.
