The 2014 Wisconsin Senate elections were held on Tuesday, November 4, 2014, at the Fall general election in Wisconsin. Seventeen of the 33 seats in the Wisconsin Senate were up for election—the odd-numbered districts. Before the election, Republicans held 17 seats, Democrats held 15 seats, and 1 seat was vacant. Of the seats up for election, 7 were held by Democrats, 9 were held by Republicans, and 1 was vacant due to the resignation of a Republican member. The primary election was held on August 12, 2014.

Republicans maintained control of the Senate, flipping one Democrat-held seat. They were set to enter the 102nd Wisconsin Legislature with 19 of 33 Senate seats, but one Republican Senator resigned after the election, leaving them with 18 seats at the start of the legislative term.

Elected members took office on January 5, 2015.
