The 1926 United States Senate election in Kansas was held on November 2, 1926. Incumbent Republican Senator Charles Curtis ran for re-election to his third consecutive term, and his fourth term overall. He defeated Nick Chiles, the editor of the Topeka Plaindealer and one of the first Black U.S. Senate candidates, in the Republican primary. In the general election, Curtis faced attorney Charles Stephens. Curtis overwhelmingly defeated Stephens to win re-election. Two years into Curtis's term, he was nominated at the 1928 Republican National Convention as presidential nominee Herbert Hoover's running mate, and following his election as Vice President, a special electionwould be held in 1930 to fill out the remaining four years in his term.
