The 1986 Maryland Senate election were held on November 4, 1986, to elect senators in all 47 districts of the Maryland Senate. Members were elected in single-member constituencies to four-year terms. These elections were held concurrently with various federal and state elections, including for Governor of Maryland.
Following landslide victories for Paul Sarbanes and Harry Hughes in the 1982 elections, Republicans largely spent the following four years rebuilding the party. The party began its 1986 campaigns in a strong position with White House aide Linda Chavez leading the ticket, however, the party's status weakened as the election approached, with it shifting its focus away from legislative gains and toward limiting its legislative losses.
