Notes:

William Henry Harrison died on April 4, 1841, but John Tyler did not take the oath of office until April 6, 1841. This could either mean that the country was briefly without a president during this time, or that Tyler was president, but had no authority until he was sworn in.
James Knox Polk's term expired March 3, 1849, but Zachary Taylor did not take the oath of office until March 5, because March 4 was a Sunday. Some claim that this means the order of succession came in to play, and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate became President for the day. The U.S. Senate has a web page disputing this claim.
For the purposes of this list, it is assumed that a person becomes president as soon as his predecessor's term ends, and the oath of office required by Article II Section 1 of the Constitution is required in order for the president's orders to have any authority. Therefore, no gaps are shown between the end of one term and the beginning of another, even when the successor is not sworn in immediately.
The only elections which resulted in neither the President nor the Vice President changing were 1792 (Washington/Adams), 1820 (Monroe/Tompkins), 1916 (Wilson/Marshall), 1936 (Roosevelt/Garner), 1956 (Eisenhower/Nixon), 1972 (Nixon/Agnew), 1984 (Reagan/Bush), and 1996 (Clinton/Gore).
Under the 25th Amendment, ratified February 10, 1967, the President selects a new Vice President when that office becomes vacant, with the selection subject to confirmation by both houses of Congress. Prior to ratification of the 25th Amendment, a vacancy in the office of Vice President remained until the next presidential election.
