1962 United States Senate election in Arizona
The 1962 United States Senate election in Arizona took place on November 6, 1962. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Carl Hayden ran for reelection to a seventh term, defeating Republican State Senator Evan Mecham in the general election. Mecham became Governor of Arizona more than two decades later, and was subsequently impeached and removed from office.

This would be Hayden's final run for U.S. Senate, as he would be succeeded in office by Barry Goldwater in 1968. This was the last time Democrats won the Class 3 Senate seat from Arizona until Mark Kelly's victory in the 2020 special election, and the last time until 2022, when Kelly was reelected, that Democrats won a full term in this seat.
