The 2020 United States Senate election in Minnesota was held on November 3, 2020, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of Minnesota, concurrently with the 2020 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the United States Senate, elections to the United States House of Representatives and other state and local elections. Some Republican pundits and strategists believed Minnesota to be a potential pickup opportunity due to its increasingly favorable demographics and unexpectedly close result in the 2016 presidential election, along with potential backlash from the 2020 George Floyd protests, originating after the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. However, every poll taken showed incumbent Democratic Senator Tina Smith in the lead by varying degrees.

Smith ended up winning re-election to a full term in office by a margin of 5.2 points, making this the closest Senate election in Minnesota since 2008. Some have attributed this to two pro-marijuana legalization parties (Legal Marijuana Now Party and Grassroots Party) taking a combined 7.69% of the vote. The filing deadline for all candidates was June 2, 2020.^[1] The primary took place on August 11.^[2]
