The 2004 United States Senate election in North Dakota was held on November 2, 2004, concurrent with other elections for president, the United States House of Representatives, and various state and local offices. Incumbent Democratic-NPL U.S. Senator Byron Dorgan won re-election to a third term by a landslide margin of 36.6 percentage points, sweeping every county in the state, even while Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry lost the state by 27.3 percentage points.
