The United States Senate election of 1832 was an election which had the Anti-Jackson coalition assume control of the United States Senate from the Jacksonian coalition, despite Andrew Jackson's victory in the Presidential election.

As this election was prior to ratification of the seventeenth amendment, Senators were chosen by State legislatures.
