The United States Senate election of 1892 was an election which, corresponding with former Democratic President Grover Cleveland's return to power, had the Republican Party lose seven seats in the United States Senate and lose its majority to the Democratic Party.
As this election was prior to ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment, Senators were chosen by State legislatures.
