The '''1944 United States Senate elections''' coincided with the [[1944 United States presidential election|re-election]] of [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] to his fourth term as [[President of the United States|president]]. The 32 seats of [[Classes of United States senators|Class 3]] were contested in regular elections, and three special elections were held to fill vacancies. 

The [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrats]] retained their large majority, although they lost a net of one seat to the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republicans]]. Republicans won open seats in Indiana, New Jersey, and Missouri, and defeated an incumbent in Iowa. However, Democrats defeated incumbents in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and North Dakota. The Democratic majority was further reduced to 56-39-1 throughout mid-term appointments.
