The New Mexico Senate (Spanish: Senado de Nuevo México) is the upper house of the New Mexico State Legislature. The Senate consists of 42 members, with each senator representing an equal number of single-member constituent districts across the state.

The Senate convenes at the New Mexico State Capitol building in Santa Fe.
