The 1964 United States presidential election in Alaska took place on November 3, 1964, as part of the 1964 United States presidential election. Voters chose three representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.

Alaska was won by incumbent President Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Texas) with 65.9% of the popular vote against U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater (R-Arizona) with 34.1%.^[1] Johnson won the national vote as well, defeating Goldwater and serving another term after finishing John F. Kennedy's term. This is the only presidential election that Alaska has ever voted for a Democratic candidate, likely due to Johnson's landslide victory throughout the rest of the country (except for the Deep South and Goldwater's home state).^[1]

At a more local level, all boroughs and census areas voted for Johnson, and the relatively populous boroughs of Anchorage, Matanuska-Susitna, Fairbanks North Star and Kenai Peninsula have never voted for a Democrat candidate since^[2] – although Matanuska-Susitna was the most populous amongst fifteen county-equivalents who gave a plurality to Ross Perot in 1992.^[3]
