The 1908 United States presidential election in Alabama took place on November 3, 1908. All contemporary 46 states were part of the 1908 United States presidential election. Alabama voters chose eleven electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.

Alabama was won by the Democratic nominees, former Representative William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska and his running mate John W. Kern of Indiana. They defeated the Republican candidates, United States Secretary of War William Howard Taft of Ohio and his running mate James S. Sherman of New York. Bryan won the state by a margin of 46.7%.

With 70.88% of the popular vote, Alabama would prove to be Bryan's fifth strongest state in the 1908 presidential election after South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.

Bryan had previously defeated William McKinley in Alabama in both 1896 and 1900.
