The 1916 United States Senate election in North Dakota took place on November 7, 1916. Incumbent Senator Porter J. McCumber, a Republican, sought re-election in his first popular election. He won the Republican primary with a plurality and faced former Governor John Burke, the Democratic nominee, and E. R. Fry, the Socialist nominee, in the general election. Though incumbent Democratic President Woodrow Wilson narrowly won the state in the presidential election, McCumber defeated Burke and Fry in a landslide.
