The 1922 United States Senate special election in Iowa took place on November 7, 1922. Republican Smith W. Brookhart was elected to complete the unexpired term of William S. Kenyon, defeating Democrat Clyde Herring.

Background
Incumbent Republican Senator William S. Kenyon, whose term was not set to expire until 1925, resigned effective February 24, 1922 to accept an appointment by President Harding to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Governor Nathan Kendall appointed Charles A. Rawson to fill the vacant seat until a successor could be duly elected.
