The 1876 United States presidential election in Alabama took place on November 7, 1876, as part of the 1876 presidential election. Alabama voters chose ten representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.[2]

Alabama was won by Samuel J. Tilden, the former governor of New York (DNew York), running with Thomas A. Hendricks, the governor of Indiana and future vice president, with 59.98% of the popular vote, against Rutherford B. Hayes, the governor of Ohio (R-Ohio), running with Representative William A. Wheeler, with 40.02% of the vote.[2]

Tilden was the first Democratic presidential candidate on the ballot in Alabama since Horatio Seymour in 1868, and therefore the first to win any counties since then.

Tilden was also the first Democrat to win the following counties since James Buchanan in 1856: Barbour, DeKalb, Marengo, St. Clair, Sumter and Washington.
