2016 United States Senate election in Oregon

The 2016 United States Senate election in Oregon was held November 8, 2016, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of Oregon, concurrently with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the United States Senate in other states and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections.

Incumbent Democratic Senator Ron Wyden was re-elected to a fourth full term in office. This is the first senate election since 1998 in which Coos County has not supported him. This election also marks the most recent time any candidate from either major party swept all of Oregon's existing congressional districts in any statewide election. Uniquely, this election is also one of two to have featured a tie in the number of counties won by each of the major party candidates. The only other tie in number of counties won was the 2012 United States Senate election in Wisconsin between Tammy Baldwin and Tommy Thompson.
