This is a classification of U.S. Senators by seniority from January 3rd, 1945 to December 30th, 1946.

Order of service is based on the commencement of the Senator's first term. Behind this is former service as a U.S. Senator (only giving the Senator seniority within his or her new incoming class), service as U.S. Vice President, a House member, a cabinet secretary, a state governor, and then by their state's population, respectively.

Senators who were sworn in in the middle of the 2 year Congressional term (up until the last senator who was not sworn in early after winning the November 1946 election) are listed at the end of the list with no number.
