The U.S. Senate election, 1952 was an election for the United States Senate which coincided with the election of Dwight D. Eisenhower to the presidency by a large margin. The Republicans managed to make a net gain of two seats, which was reduced to one when Wayne L. Morse (R-OR) became an independent after his pro-New Deal positions and support for Adlai Stevenson alienated Republican leaders.
Republicans took the open seat in Maryland and defeated five Democratic incumbents:
* Ernest W. McFarland (D-AZ and the Majority Leader)
* William Benton (D-CT)
* Thomas R. Underwood (D-KY)
* Blair Moody (D-MI)
* Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D-WY)
Democrats defeated four Republican incumbents:
* Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. (R-MA)
* James P. Kem (R-MO)
* Zales N. Ecton (R-MT)
* Harry P. Cain (R-WA)
Notable freshmen are future President John F. Kennedy (D-MA) and future presidential candidate Barry Goldwater (R-AZ).
