The 1910 United States Senate election in Nevada was held on Tuesday, November 8, 1910. Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator George S. Nixon was re-elected by popular vote after initially being elected to his seat in 1905 by the Nevada Legislature. Although the 17th amendment - establishing popular election of senators - had not yet been enacted, a Nevada ballot measure required state legislators to elect the candidate receiving the highest number of popular votes.
