The North Carolina United States Senate election of 1968 was held on 5 November 1968 as part of the nationwide elections to the Senate. The general election was fought between the Democratic incumbent Sam Ervin and the Republican nominee Robert Somers. Ervin won re-election to a third full term, with over 60% of the vote.[1] This was the last time any incumbent was re-elected in this seat until 2010.[2] To date, this is also the last time a Democrat was re-elected as a senator in North Carolina.[3]

This is the last time that a Senate candidate was voted for and elected to the United States Senate in North Carolina at the same time that a presidential candidate of a different political party was voted for in North Carolina and had won North Carolina.
