The U.S. Senate election, 1992 was an election in which the victory of Bill Clinton in the presidential election was not accompanied by major Democratic gains in the Senate.

Democratic victories over John Seymour (R-CA) and Bob Kasten (R-WI) were cancelled out by the defeats of Wyche Fowler Jr. (D-GA) and Terry Sanford (D-NC). The election of four new Democratic women to the Senate was notable.
