The 1892 United States presidential election in Delaware took place on November 8, 1892. All contemporary 44 states were part of the 1892 United States presidential election. State voters chose three electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.

Delaware was won by the Democratic nominees, former President Grover Cleveland of New York and his running mate Adlai Stevenson I of Illinois.

Despite reclaiming the presidency, Cleveland performed much worse in Delaware than he did in his 1888 re-election bid.

This would be one of four states where Harrison outperformed his initial run for the presidency in 1888, these other states were New Hampshire, Georgia and, South Carolina.
