The 1952 United States presidential election in Nevada took place on November 4, 1952, as part of the 1952 United States presidential election. State voters chose three representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.^[3]

Nevada was won by Columbia University President Dwight D. Eisenhower (R–New York), running with Senator Richard Nixon, with 61.45% of the popular vote, against Adlai Stevenson (D–Illinois), running with Senator John Sparkman, with 38.55% of the popular vote. Eisenhower's vote share was the highest achieved in Nevada by any Republican presidential candidate to that point, although Richard Nixon in 1972 and Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984 would eventually exceed Eisenhower's 61.45% vote share. This was the last time that Clark County, home to Las Vegas, did not cast the most votes of any county in a presidential election in Nevada.
