The1968 United States Senate election in Maryland was held on November 5, 1968. IncumbentDemocratic U.S. SenatorDaniel Brewster ran for re-election to a second term in office but was defeated by Republican U.S. RepresentativeCharles Mathias.

Mathias may have benefited from the campaign ofGeorge P. Mahoney, the 1966 Democratic nominee for Governor of Maryland, who ran on theGeorge Wallace American Independent ticket and garnered a significant chunk of the vote.

Mathias and Brewster were previously roommates while they attended theUniversity of Maryland School of Law.
