The United States Senate election of 1982-11-02 was an election for the United States Senate following the Republican gains in 1980. Party balance was unchanged following the election, with the Republican seat total unchanged and the Democrats gaining one seat (one Democratic-leaning Independent left the Senate).
Incumbents Howard Cannon of Nevada and Harrison Schmitt of New Mexico lost seats to the opposite party, the open seat in Virginia that had been held by independent Harry F. Byrd, Jr. was taken by a Republican, and the open seat in New Jersey was taken by a Democrat.
In 1983, Republicans picked up the seat of Henry M. Jackson (D-WA) in a special election. This is not included in the numbers below.
