The United States Senate elections of 1944 coincided with the re-election of Franklin Roosevelt to his fourth term as President. The Democratic party suffered a net loss of one seat to the Republicans, but still kept a large majority in the Senate.

Democrats defeated three Republican incumbents: John A. Danaher (R-CT), Gerald P. Nye (R-ND), and James J. Davis (R-PA). Republicans took open seats in Indiana, Missouri, and New Jersey (where a Democrat had been appointed to a Republican vacancy), and defeated Guy M. Gillette (D-IA).
