The 1992 United States Senate election in Ohio was held on November 3, 1992.
 Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator John Glenn won re-election to a fourth term, coinciding with Bill Clinton's narrow win during the presidential election.
 Glenn's voting percentage of 51% represented the worst performance of his four runs for the Senate, likely due to the presence of third-party candidate Martha Grevatt of the far-left Workers World Party.
 As of 2016, this is the last time the Democrats have won the Class 3 Senate Seat from Ohio.
