The 1992 Alabama Democratic presidential primary took place on June 2, 1992, as one of six final contests scheduled in the Democratic Party primaries for the 1992 presidential election. The open primary allocated 54 pledged delegates towards the 1992 Democratic National Convention, distributed in proportion to the results of the primary, statewide and within each congressional district. The state was also given an additional 10 unpledged delegates (superdelegates), whose votes at the convention were not bound to the result of the primary.
Only four candidates ran in this primary, that being Arkansas governor Bill Clinton, former California governor Jerry Brown, perennial candidates Charles Woods, and political activist and perennial candidate Lyndon LaRouche. Bill Clinton won by an overwhelming landslide, winning every county and congressional district in the state. He received 69% of the vote and was awarded 54 delegates. Uncommitted came in second place, with 20% of the vote, but no delegates were awarded. Jerry Brown came in a distant third with roughly 7% of the vote, missing the 15% threshold for delegates. Charles Woods and Lyndon LaRouche trailed with 3% and 1% respectively.
