The '''2018 Ohio State Senate Election''' was held on November 6, 2018, with the primary election held on May 8, 2018. Ohio voters elected state senators in the 17 odd-numbered [[Ohio Senate|Ohio State Senate]] districts. State senators elected in 2018 are eligible to serve a four-year term beginning January 2019 and ending December 2022. These elections coincided with elections for [[2018 Ohio gubernatorial election|Ohio Governor]], the [[2018 Ohio House of Representatives election|Ohio House]], the [[2018 United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio|U.S. House of Representatives]], the [[2018 United States Senate election in Ohio|U.S. Senate]], and [[2018 Ohio elections|other statewide offices]].

Despite a moderate statewide swing that allowed the Democrats to win the popular vote, the Republicans retained their [[supermajority]] of 24 seats in the Senate, compared to the Democrats' 9 seats.
