The 1992 United States Senate election in Arkansas was held on November 3, 1992. Incumbent Democratic Senator Dale Bumpers won re-election to a fourth term. His Republican opponent was future Arkansas lieutenant governor, governor, and two-time presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, a church pastor from Texarkana.
The 1992 election coincided with the 1992 presidential election, in which Arkansas governor Bill Clinton, who was elected as President of the United States, won his home state. While Bumpers had previously won his home state with over 60% of the vote, Clinton secured only 53.21% of the vote. Bumpers served another term in the Senate before retiring in 1998.
