The 2008 Wyoming Republican presidential caucuses took place on January 5, 2008, with 12 national delegates chosen by county convention delegates. A majority of the national delegates were won by former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.{{cite web |url=https://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080105/ap_po/wyoming_caucuses |publisher=AP |title=Romney wins Wyoming caucuses |access-date= 2008-01-05 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080108072230/http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080105/ap_po/wyoming_caucuses |archive-date = 2008-01-08}} In addition, two national delegates were elected at the Republican State Convention on May 30–31.
