Lamborn Republican George Kinley Democratic The 1974 Iowa State Senate elections took place as part of the biennial 1974 United States elections. Iowa voters elected state senators in 26 of the state senate's districts—the 25 odd-numbered state senate districts and a special election in district 10. State senators serve four-year terms in the Iowa State Senate, with half of the seats up for regularly scheduled election each cycle. A statewide map of the 50 state Senate districts in 1974 is provided by the Iowa General Assembly here. The primary election on June 4, 1974, determined which candidates appeared on the November 5, 1974 general election ballot.

To take control of the chamber from Republicans, the Democrats needed to net 4 Senate seats. Democrats flipped control of the Iowa State Senate following the 1974 general election, with Democrats claiming 26 seats and Republicans falling to 24 seats after the election (a net gain of four seats for the Democrats). Summary of results NOTE: 24 of the even-numbered districts did not have elections in 1974, so they are not listed here (district 10 had a special election).
