The '''1900 United States presidential election in Vermont''' took place on November 6, 1900 as part of the [[1900 United States presidential election]]. Voters chose four representatives, or electors to the [[United States Electoral College|Electoral College]], who voted for [[President of the United States|president]] and [[Vice President of the United States|vice president]].
[[Vermont]] overwhelmingly voted for the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] nominees, incumbent President [[William McKinley]] of [[Ohio]] and his running mate [[Theodore Roosevelt]] of [[New York (state)|New York]]. They defeated the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] nominees, former [[United States House of Representatives|U.S. Representative]] and 1896 Democratic presidential nominee [[William Jennings Bryan]] and his running mate, former [[Vice President of the United States|Vice President]] [[Adlai Stevenson I]]. McKinley won Vermont by a landslide margin of 52.87% in this rematch of the [[1896 United States presidential election|1896 presidential election]]. The return of economic prosperity and recent victory in the [[Spanish–American War]] helped McKinley to score a decisive victory.
[[1896 United States presidential election in Vermont|Four years earlier]], McKinley had won Vermont with 80.08% of the popular vote, making it his strongest victory in the 1896 presidential election in terms of percentage in the popular vote as well as the best performance of any presidential candidate in Vermont to date. Vermont would once again be McKinley's strongest state in popular vote percentage, though with a slightly reduced margin of 75.73%.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/stats.php?year=1900&f=1&off=0&elect=0|title=1900 Presidential Election Statistics|publisher=Dave Leip’s Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections|access-date=2018-03-05}}</ref>
Bryan had previously lost Vermont to McKinley four years earlier and would later lose the state again in [[1908 United States presidential election in Vermont|1908]] to [[William Howard Taft]].
