The 1998 United States Senate election in Colorado was held November 3, 1998, alongside other elections to the United States Senate in other states as well as elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections. Incumbent Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell won re-election to a second term by a landslide. This was Campbell's first election as a Republican as he left the Democratic Party in 1995.
This was the only time since 1968 that Republicans have won the Class 3 Senate seat from Colorado, and the last time that a Native American was elected to the United States Senate until 2022.
