A presidential election was held in Massachusetts between November 4 and December 7, 1796, as part of the 1796 United States presidential election. There were 14 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, two of them were appointed by Legislature, and the rest of them were chosen by state legislature from the two most popular candidates in each U.S. House district. And then, electors voted for President and Vice President.

During this election, Massachusetts cast 14 electoral votes for incumbent Vice President and Massachusetts native John Adams. However, the detail of this election was not well protected, so the data is incomplete now.
