List of United States Senators in the 81st Congress by seniority

This is a classification of U.S. Senators by seniority from January 3rd, 1949 to November 26th, 1950.

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.
