The 1952 United States Senate election in Nebraska took place on November 2, 1952. Incumbent Republican Senator Hugh A. Butler ran for re-election to a third term. He was challenged by Democratic nominee Stanley D. Long, a former member of the University of Nebraska Board of Regents, and independent candidate Dwight Dell, a farmer and former state director of the Christian Rural Overseas Program. Butler won re-election in a landslide, matching Republican presidential nominee Dwight D. Eisenhower's performance in the state.
