The 2026 United States Senate election in Kentucky will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Kentucky. Incumbent seven-term Republican Senator Mitch McConnell, who was first elected in 1984, and most recently re-elected with 57.8% of the vote in 2020, declined to run for re-election. This decision follows his earlier announcement to retire as Senate Republican Leader after the 2024 Senate elections.

This will be the first open Senate election in Kentucky since 2010, and the first to this seat since 1972.
