The 2020 United States Senate election in Michigan will be held on November 3, 2020, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of Michigan, concurrently with the 2020 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the United States Senate in other states, elections to the United States House of Representatives, and various state and local elections.

Gary Peters, incumbent Democratic Senator, is one of two Democratic Senators facing re-election in 2020 in a state President Donald Trump carried in 2016 (the other being Doug Jones of Alabama). The primary is scheduled for August 4. The filing deadline for candidates to run in the August primary is April 21, but may be extended to May 8 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
