The 1986 United States Senate election in Colorado was held on November 4, 1986. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Gary Hart decided to vacate his Senate seat instead of seeking a third term ahead of another presidential run which he would announce right after leaving the Senate. Democratic nominee Tim Wirth won the open seat by a narrow margin, keeping it in Democrat hands for another six years.
