Elections in Maryland |

The 1968 United States Senate election in Maryland was held on November 5, 1968. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Daniel Brewster ran for re-election to a second term in office but was defeated by Republican U.S. Representative Charles Mathias. This is the last time a Senator from Maryland lost re-election.
Mathias may have benefited from the campaign of George P. Mahoney, the 1966 Democratic nominee for Governor of Maryland, who ran on the George Wallace American Independent ticket and garnered a significant chunk of the vote.
