The 1992 United States Senate election in Nevada was held on November 3, 1992. Although nearly 10% of the electorate voted for neither of the two major U.S. political parties, incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Harry Reid won re-election to a second term with over 50% of the vote. Although Harry Reid defeated Demar Dahl in a landslide in the election, Bill Clinton won the state by a very narrow margin in the concurrent presidential election in the state.
