The 2022 United States Senate election in Idaho was held on November 8, 2022 to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Idaho.

Incumbent Republican Senator Mike Crapo was first elected in 1998 and ran for reelection to a fifth term in office.[1][2] Primary elections were held on May 17, 2022. Crapo easily won renomination, while former Idaho House of Representatives candidate David Roth won the Democratic primary with 57.8% of the vote. Crapo ultimately won the election, but this was the lowest share of the vote he has ever received for this seat, partially because of an Independent candidate, Scott Cleveland, taking away some of his votes.[3]

The election also sought both the worst performance by a Republican, and the best performance by a Democrat in the Class 3 seat since 1992. It also showed the best performance a Third Party or Independent candidate had performed since Glen H. Taylor's Write-in campaign in 1956.
