1928 United States Senate elections in Michigan

The 1928 United States Senate election in Michigan was held on November 6, 1928, alongside a special election to the same seat.

Democratic Senator Woodbridge N. Ferris died in office in March 1928. Governor Fred W. Green appointed newspaper publisher Arthur H. Vandenberg to fill Ferris's seat until a successor could be duly elected. Vandenberg won both the special election to complete Ferris's term and the regularly scheduled 1928 election, both held on November 6.
