The 2028 United States presidential election in Minnesota was held on Tuesday, November 7, 2028, as part of the 2028 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Minnesota voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote, pitting the Republican Party's nominee, incumbent President JD Vance, and running mate Vice President Ron DeSantis against the DFL nominee, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, and his running mate Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Minnesota has ten electoral votes in the Electoral College.

Prior to the 2028 election, Minnesota was seen as a state Armstrong would likely win.
