November 8 and December 10, 2016
 
Nominee John Neely Kennedy Foster Campbell
Party Republican Democratic
Incumbent U.S. Senator

David Vitter
Republican

The 2016 United States Senate election in Louisiana took place on November 8, 2016, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of Louisiana, concurrently with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the United States Senate in other states and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections.

Under Louisiana's "jungle primary" system, all candidates appeared on the same ballot, regardless of party, and voters could vote for any candidate. Since no candidate received a majority of the vote during the primary election, a runoff election will be held on December 10[1] between the top two candidates in the primary, Republican John Kennedy and Democrat Foster Campbell. Louisiana is the only state that has a jungle primary system (California and Washington have a similar "top two primary" system).

Incumbent Republican Senator David Vitter unsuccessfully ran for Governor of Louisiana in the 2015 election, losing to Democrat John Bel Edwards.[2] In his concession speech, Vitter announced that he would not seek re-election.[3]

In addition to Kennedy and Campbell, four other candidates — Republicans Charles Boustany, John Fleming, and David Duke, and Democrat Caroline Fayard — qualified to participate at a debate at Dillard University, a historically black college, on November 2, 2016.[4][5]

On November 8, Kennedy and Campbell finished in first and second respectively and will advance to the runoff held on December 10.
