The 2022 Colorado Senate elections took place on November 8, 2022, along with elections in the State House of Representatives, with the primary elections held on June 28, 2022.[1] Voters in 17 out of the 35 districts of the Colorado Senate elected their representative for a four-year term.[2] It coincided with other Colorado elections of the same year and the biennial United States elections.

Democrats gained two seats increasing their majority to 23 out of 35 seats, with one seat shy of an outright supermajority.[3] Despite winning a majority of the votes cast, the Republican Party only won 6 of the 17 seats up for election.
