The 1988 United States presidential election in Oregon took place on November 8, 1988 as part of the 1988 United States presidential election. Voters chose seven electors of the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Oregon was won by the Democratic nominee, Massachusetts governor Michael Dukakis, over the Republican nominee, Vice President George H. W. Bush. Oregon was one of just 10 states won by Dukakis in an election won by Vice President Bush. It also marked the first victory by a Democratic presidential candidate in Oregon since 1964; Democrats have won every presidential election in Oregon since, albeit it nearly went red in 2000.

As of 2017, this is the last occasion Washington County has voted for the Republican nominee.
