2022 United States Senate election in North Dakota

The 2022 United States Senate election in North Dakota was held on November 8, 2022, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of North Dakota. Incumbent Republican John Hoeven was first elected in 2010 with 76% of the vote to succeed retiring Democratic–NPL incumbent Byron Dorgan, and won re-election in 2016 with 78.5% of the vote. He ran for a re-election to a third term in office against Democratic-NPL nominee Katrina Christiansen. He also faced State Representative Rick Becker, who initially ran as a Republican in the primary, but suspended his campaign in August 2022 and instead ran as an Independent.

Hoeven won reelection to a third term in office with 56.4% of the vote. His performance however was far less impressive than in both of his prior races and even substantially lower than what most polling had indicated, and was the worst a winning Republican had made in the Class 3 seat since 1974. This underperformance was in part attributed to Becker's candidacy as an Independent, who took 18.5% of the vote. Additionally, Christiansen's 25% vote share was the highest of any Democratic–NPL candidate for the Class 3 Senate seat since Dorgan's landslide 2004 win. Becker later rejoined the Republican Party in January 2024.
