The 1956 United States presidential election in Wisconsin was held on November 6, 1956 as part of the 1956 United States presidential election. State voters chose 12 electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Politics in Wisconsin since the Populist movement had been dominated by the Republican Party.{{cite book|last=Burnham|first=Walter Dean|title=The Evolution of American Electoral Systems|isbn=0313213798|pages=178–179|chapter=The System of 1896: An Analysis|date=December 23, 1981 |publisher=Bloomsbury Academic }} The Democratic Party became uncompetitive away from the Lake Michigan coast as the upper classes, along with the majority of workers who followed them, fled from William Jennings Bryan's agrarian and free silver sympathies.{{cite book|last=Sundquist|first=James|title=Politics and Policy: The Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson Years|date=December 2010 |isbn=978-0815719090|page=526|publisher=Brookings Institution Press }} Although the state did develop a strong Socialist Party to provide opposition to the GOP, Wisconsin developed the direct Republican primary in 1903 and this ultimately created competition between the "League" under Robert M. La Follette, and the conservative "Regular" faction.{{cite book|last1=Hansen|first1=John Mark|title=Governing in a Polarized Age: Elections, Parties, and Political Representation in America|last2=Shigeo|first2=Hirano|last3=Snyder jr|first3=James M.|isbn=978-1-107-09509-0|editor-last=Gerber|editor-first=Alan S.|pages=165–168|chapter=Parties within Parties: Parties, Factions, and Coordinated Politics, 1900-1980|date=February 27, 2017 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |editor-last2=Schickler|editor-first2=Eric}} This ultimately would develop into the Wisconsin Progressive Party in the late 1930s, which was opposed to the conservative German Democrats and to the national Republican Party, and allied with Franklin D. Roosevelt at the federal level.
During the two wartime elections, the formerly Democratic German counties in the east of the state – which had been powerfully opposed to the Civil War because they saw it as a "Yankee" war and opposed the military draft instituted during it{{cite book|last=Phillips|first=Kevin P.|title=The Emerging Republican Majority|date=November 23, 2014 |isbn=978-0-691-16324-6|pages=381–382, 414|publisher=Princeton University Press }} – viewed Communism as a much greater threat to America than Nazism and consequently opposed President Roosevelt's war effort.Phillips. The Emerging Republican Majority, pp. 387-388 Consequently, these historically Democratic counties became virtually the most Republican in the entire state, and became a major support base for populist conservative Senator Joe McCarthy, who became notorious for his investigations into Communists inside the American government. The state's populace's opposition to Communism and the Korean War turned Wisconsin strongly to Republican nominee Dwight D. Eisenhower in the 1952 presidential election.
For the 1956 rematch, Democratic nominee Adlai Stevenson II began by campaigning against Eisenhower's handling of farm problems, at a time when most of the interior United States was suffering from a severe drought.{{cite news|last=Blair|first=William M.|date=August 30, 1956|title=Stevenson Asserts G.O.P. Fosters Farm Depression: Broken Promises Charged Stevenson Urges Action Stevenson Accuses Republicans of Fostering a Farm Depression — 3 States Are Pivotal|page=1|work=The New York Times}} The Democrat would then attack Eisenhower as a "weak" President when the two were touring the Midwest during September.{{cite news|last=Salisbury|first=Harrison E.|date=September 27, 1956|title=Stevenson Says Eisenhower Fails to Lead Country: In Kansas City, He Asserts the Question Is, "Who's in Charge Here?"

Early polls showed Eisenhower leading the state despite farm unrest, owing to the unpopularity of Stevenson.{{cite news |last=White |first=William S. |date=October 1, 1956 |title=G.O.P. Retaining Wisconsin Lead; Democrats Gain: Survey Shows Farm Unrest and Spotty Unemployment Are Having Influence |edition=Special to The New York Times |page=1 |work=The New York Times}} No later poll was taken, but evidence was that state's farmers were not trending to Stevenson at all, and that the Suez Crisis would hurt rather than help Stevenson.{{cite news|last=King|first=Seth H.|date=November 1, 1956|title=Major Farm Vote Still Republican: Democrats Fail to Stir Big Revolt – May Lose Votes on Crisis in Mideast|page=44|work=The New York Times}}

As it turned out, despite the doubts of the Boston Daily Globe Eisenhower slightly improved upon his 1952 margin in Wisconsin: although he did lose some support in the farming areas, he gained upon his 1952 vote in Wisconsin's cities due to increased Catholic support, and carried all but two northern counties. Wisconsin’s result was 8.34% more Republican than the nation-at-large. {{As of|2020|11|alt=As of 2020}}, this remains the last time a Republican has carried Wisconsin by double digits, as the state would trend Democratic beginning with the 1958 midterm elections, although Democrats have subsequently won Wisconsin by double digits just three times – Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964, Bill Clinton in 1996 and Barack Obama in 2008.{{cite web|publisher=Dave Leip's U.S. Election Atlas|title=Presidential General Election Results Comparison – Wisconsin|url=https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/compare.php?year=1956&fips=55&f=0&off=0&elect=0&type=state}} This is also the last election as of 2020 in which Ashland County, Dane County, Milwaukee County, and Portage County voted for a Republican presidential candidate.{{cite magazine|last=Sullivan|first=Robert David|url=http://www.americamagazine.org/content/unconventional-wisdom/how-red-and-blue-map-evolved-over-past-century|title=How the Red and Blue Map Evolved Over the Past Century|edition=America Magazine|magazine=The National Catholic Review|date=June 29, 2016}}
