The 1966 United States Senate election in Nebraska was held on November 8, 1966. Incumbent Republican Senator Carl Curtis ran for a third term and was challenged by Governor Frank B. Morrison, the Democratic nominee. While Morrison had been re-elected as Governor in 1964 by a wide margin, the nationwide environment favored Republican candidates, and Curtis was re-elected overwhelmingly, defeating Morrison with 61% of the vote.
