The1916 United States Senate election in Wyoming took place on November 7, 1916. Incumbent senatorClarence D. Clark, a Republican, sought re-election in his first popular election. He was opposed byJohn B. Kendrick, the incumbent governor of Wyoming and the Democratic nominee. Owing in part to PresidentWoodrow Wilson's strong performance in thepresidential election that year, Kendrick won a narrow but decisive victory over Clark, winning the first of three terms in the U.S. Senate.
