The 1940 United States Senate election in North Dakota took place on November 5, 1940. Incumbent Republican Senator Lynn Frazier, who was first elected in 1922, ran for re-election to a fourth term. However, he was defeated in the Republican primary by former Governor William Langer. In the general election, Langer faced Democratic nominee Charles J. Vogel, an attorney, and Congressman William Lemke, who was running as an independent. In a close race, Langer narrowly defeated Lemke with a 38% plurality and won his first term in the Senate.
