1952 United States Senate elections in Michigan

The 1952 United States Senate election in Michigan was held on November 4, 1952, alongside a special election to the same seat.

Republican Senator Arthur Vandenberg died in office in April 1951. Governor G. Mennen Williams appointed journalist Blair Moody to fill Vandenberg's seat until a successor could be duly elected. Moody then lost the special election to complete Vandenberg's term and the regularly scheduled 1952 election to U.S. Representative Charles E. Potter, both held on November 4.
