Cuộc bầu cử đặc biệt của Thượng viện Hoa Kỳ ở Florida năm 1936

The 1936 United States Senate elections coincided with the reelection of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The 32 seats of Class 2 were contested in regular elections, and special elections were held to fill vacancies. The Great Depression continued and voters backed progressive candidates favoring Roosevelt's New Deal in races across the country. The Democrats gained 5 net seats during the election, and in combination with Democratic and Farmer–Labor interim appointments and the defection of George W. Norris from the Republican Party to become independent, the Republicans were reduced to 16 seats. The Democrats gained a further two seats due to midterm vacancies. The Democrats' 77 seats and their 62-seat majority remain their largest in history.

This was the last of four consecutive election cycles where Republicans suffered losses due to the ongoing effects of the Great Depression. This was also the last Senate election cycle until 2012 in which a Democratic candidate who won two terms also made net gains in the Senate on both occasions. Additionally, this is the last time any party held three-fourths of all Senate seats. In contrast, this was the first time since 1930 (which also involved the Class 2 seats) where the Republicans were able to flip a Senate seat despite suffering net losses during this period.
