The 1964 Alabama Democratic presidential elector primary was held on May 5, 1964, to choose the ten nominees for presidential electors to be listed on the general election ballot under the Democratic party label in the 1964 United States presidential election in Alabama. In 1960, Alabama was the only state where both presidential electors and DNC delegates were elected by popular vote. Instead of every candidate running in an at-large election, each candidate ran for a designated place, with the highest-placing candidates in each place receiving the nomination.
The election resulted in the nomination of ten unpledged electors not loyal to the national Democratic Party. Alabama was the only state in which Lyndon B. Johnson or electors pledged to him did not appear on the general election ballot in 1964.
