The 1928 Seanad was the part of the Seanad of the Irish Free State (1922–1936) in office from the 1928 Seanad election to the 1931 Seanad election. Elections to the Seanad, the Senate of the Oireachtas (parliament of the Irish Free State), took place on a triennial basis, with senators elected in stages. The 1928 Seanad included members nominated in 1922, and members elected at the 1922, 1925 and 1928 Seanad elections. It sat as a second chamber to the 6th Dáil elected at the September 1927 general election. The Seanad of the Irish Free State was not numbered after each election, with the whole period later considered the First Seanad.
