A presidential election was held in Connecticut in 1804, as part of the 1804 United States presidential election. The Connecticut General Assembly chose nine electors, all Federalists, who voted for former U.S. minister to France Charles Cotesworth Pinckney and former U.S. minister to Great Britain Rufus King.
Pinckney lost the national election in a landslide to the Democratic-Republican incumbent president, Thomas Jefferson. Connecticut was one of two states to back the losing Federalist candidates, in addition to Delaware and two single-member districts in Maryland.
