The 2023 New Jersey State Senate elections were held on November 7, 2023. New Jersey voters elected state senators in all of the state's legislative districts for a four-year term to the New Jersey Senate.[2] This was the first election after redistricting following the 2020 United States census. The winners of these elections were sworn in on January 9, 2024.

Democrats retained their 25-15 majority over Republicans. Democrats flipped one seat, the 3rd district. Republicans flipped the 12th district from an elected Republican who became a Democrat in February 2023.
