The 2023 Nigerian Senate elections in Sokoto State will be held on 25 February 2023, to elect the 3 federal Senators from Sokoto State, one from each of the state's three senatorial districts. The elections will coincide with the 2023 presidential election, as well as other elections to the Senate and elections to the House of Representatives; with state elections being held two weeks later. Primaries were held between 4 April and 9 June 2022.
In the previous Senate elections, all three incumbent senators were returned with Abdullahi Ibrahim Gobir (APC-East) winning re-election with 54% of the vote and Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko (APC-Central) winning re-election with 54% as well while Ibrahim Abdullahi Danbaba (PDP-South) was returned after a court ruling later in 2019. The senatorial results were an example of the state's competitiveness as the APC won most House of Representatives seats and won a majority in the state House of Assembly but the PDP held the governorship even though Buhari won the state in the presidential election.
