The 1948 United States presidential election in Pennsylvania took place on November 2, 1948. Voters chose thirty-five representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Pennsylvania voted for the Republican nominee, New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey, over the Democratic nominee, President Harry Truman. Dewey won Pennsylvania by a margin of 4.01 percent.
