The '''1982 United States Senate election in Wyoming''' took place on November 2, 1982. Incumbent Republican Senator [[Malcolm Wallop]] ran for his second term. He was challenged in the general election by former State Senator [[Rodger McDaniel]], the Democratic nominee. Despite the strong national environment for Democratic candidates [[1982 United States elections|that year]], Democratic Governor [[Edgar Herschler]]'s [[1982 Wyoming gubernatorial election|landslide re-election]], and the closeness of Wallop's campaign with former Democratic Senator [[Gale W. McGee]] in [[1976 United States Senate election in Wyoming|1976]], the contest between Wallop and McDaniel was largely non-competitive. Wallop won re-election by a wide margin, winning 57% of the vote to McDaniel's 43%. This election was the first time since [[1911 United States Senate election in Wyoming|1911]] that an incumbent Republican Senator from Wyoming was re-elected or won re-election to this seat.
