The 1932 United States Senate election in North Carolina was held on November 8, 1932. Interim Democratic senator Cameron A. Morrison ran for election to a full term, but was defeated in the Democratic primary by Robert Rice Reynolds. Reynolds defeated Republican Jacob F. Newell in the general election.

Background

Incumbent senator Lee S. Overman died on December 12, 1930. Governor of North Carolina Oliver Max Gardner appointed Cameron A. Morrison, a former governor, to fill Overman's vacant seat until a successor could be duly elected.

A special election to complete Overman's term was scheduled for the same day as the 1932 election to the next term. Primaries for both elections were held on June 4.
