The 1920 United States Senate election in New Hampshire took place on November 2, 1920. Incumbent Republican Senator George H. Moses, who was first elected in a 1918 special election, ran for re-election to his second term, and first full term in the Senate. In the general election, he faced former Democratic Congressman Raymond B. Stevens. The national political environment strongly favored Republicans, and Republican presidential nominee Warren G. Harding easily won the state in the presidential election, and Moses defeated Stevens in a landslide to win re-election.
