| He remains ahead in the overall contest in terms of delegates but is trying to regain momentum lost last week when Mrs Clinton won Texas and Ohio.
Wyoming sends 12 delegates to August's Democratic convention, making it one of the smallest prizes in the race.
The next test for the Democrats is the Mississippi primary on Tuesday.
After netting seven of Wyoming's delegates to Mrs Clinton's five, Mr Obama now has a total of 1,578 against 1,468 for his rival, according to the Associated Press.
It takes 2,025 to secure the party's nomination.
The Republican party has already chosen John McCain as its candidate for the November presidential election.
Iraq strategy
Mr Obama told supporters in Wyoming on Friday that he would end the war in Iraq in 2009.
But a former adviser told the BBC earlier this week that the Illinois senator's exit date was a "best-case scenario" that he would revisit if he became president.
Campaigning in Mississippi, Mrs Clinton also called for an end to the Iraq involvement.
"He [Mr Obama] has attacked me continuously for having no hard exit date, and now we learn he doesn't have one, in fact he doesn't have a plan at all," she said.
Both candidates have reported massive fund-raising totals for February, with Mr Obama bringing in $55m (£28m) and Mrs Clinton $35m (£17m).
Running mates?
Amid the intense rivalry, Mr Obama has played down the possibility he could run as Mrs Clinton's vice-president.
