The 2022 Alabama Senate elections took place on November 8, 2022, as part of the 2022 United States elections. Alabama voters elected state senators in all 35 of the state's Senate districts. State senators serve four-year terms in the Alabama Senate in Montgomery.

A primary election on May 24, 2022, and a runoff election on June 22, 2022, determined which candidates appear on the November 8 general election ballot for the Alabama Republican Party and the Alabama Democratic Party. Libertarian candidates were nominated by party convention. This was the first time that the Libertarian Party of Alabama was on the ballot since 2002.{{Cite web|url=https://1819news.com/news/item/libertarians-get-ballot-access|title=Libertarians Gain Ballot Access|last=Moseley|first=Brandon|work=1819 News|date=May 24, 2022|accessdate=May 24, 2022}} Primary election results can be obtained from the Alabama Secretary of State's website.

Following the 2018 election cycle, Republicans maintained effective control of the Senate with 27 members, while Democrats hold eight seats.

Republicans retained control of the Alabama Senate with 27 seats after the 2022 elections.
