The 1992 United States Senate election in Alabama took place on November 3, 1992, alongside other elections to the United States Senate in other states as well as elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections. Incumbent Senator Richard Shelby won re-election to a second term in a landslide, winning every county except Shelby.
This was the last time a Democrat was elected to the U.S Senate in Alabama until Doug Jones won a 2017 special election. As to date, this remains the last time a Democrat has won the Class 3 Senate seat in Alabama and won a full term as a senator; Shelby switched parties in 1994 and continued to serve as a Republican until 2023.
Candidates
Democratic
- Richard Shelby, incumbent U.S. Senator since 1987
