List of United States Progressive Party presidential tickets

During the 20th Century, three national entities making use of the name "Progressive Party" in the United States put forth pairings of candidates for the offices of President of the United States and Vice President of the United States. Despite the shared name, each of the three parties were organizationally distinct from one another.
