The 1908 United States presidential election in Montana took place on November 3, 1908 throughout 46 states (Arizona and New Mexico were still territories that would participate in the next election). This was the first presidential election in which Oklahoma participated. Voters chose 3 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.

Montana voted for the Republican nominee, Secretary of War William Howard Taft, over the Democratic nominee, former U.S. Representative William Jennings Bryan by a relatively small margin. Taft won Montana by a margin of 4.37%. Bryan had previously won Montana by large margins in the 1896 and 1900 presidential elections.
