The 1926 United States Senate special election in Indiana was held on November 2, 1926, to complete the unexpired term of Senator Samuel M. Ralston, who died on October 14, 1925. Interim Republican Senator Arthur Raymond Robinson, who had been appointed to fill the seat, was re-elected to finish the term over Democrat Evans Woollen.
In October 1925, incumbent Senator Samuel Ralston died in office after suffering from heart and kidney diseases, he was very sick before Congress convened in December and died before he could return to work. Governor Edward L. Jackson appointed Arthur Raymond Robinson to fill the seat until a successor could be duly elected, with the election scheduled for November 2, 1926. The winner would finish Ralston's term ending in 1929.
