List of United States senators from New Mexico

New Mexico was admitted to the Union on January 6, 1912 and elects members of the United States Senate who belong to class 1 and class 2. The state's current U.S. senators are Democrats Martin Heinrich (since 2013) and Ben Ray Luján (since 2021). Pete Domenici was New Mexico's longest-serving senator (1973–2009).
