The 2020 Kentucky State Senate elections took place as part of the biennial 2020 United States elections. Kentucky voters elected state senators in half of the state senate's districts – the 19 odd-numbered state senate districts. State senators serve four-year terms in the Kentucky Senate, with half of the seats up for election each cycle.
A statewide map of the 38 state Senate districts in the 2020 elections is provided by the Kentucky General Assembly here.
Republicans expanded their majority in the chamber following the 2020 elections, picking up 2 seats.
