The1932 United States Senate election in South Dakota took place on November 8, 1932. Incumbent Republican SenatorPeter Norbeck ran for re-election to a third term. After easily turning back a challenge from former State Senator Harry F. Brownell in the Republican primary, Norbeck faced attorney Ulysses Simpson Grant Cherry, the Democratic nominee, in the general election. Owing in part toFranklin D. Roosevelt'slandslide victory in South Dakota, the race was much closer than it was in1926, but Norbeck still defeated Cherry by a decisive margin to win his third, and final, term. Norbeck died in office on December 20, 1936, triggering aspecial election in 1938.
