The 1994 United States Senate election in Florida was held November 8, 1994. Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Connie Mack III won re-election easily, earning a second term and carrying every county in the state.

With his victory, Mack became the first Republican ever to win reelection to the United States Senate from Florida. As of 2025, this is the last time that a U.S. Senate candidate carried all counties in Florida. This is also the last time that Broward County and Gadsden County have voted Republican in a statewide race. Mack won by 1.7 Million votes. This is also the largest raw vote margin for a statewide race in Florida to date in 2025.
