The 2023 Nigerian Senate elections in Niger State will be held on 25 February 2023, to elect the 3 federal Senators from Niger State, one from each of the state's three senatorial districts. The elections will coincide with the 2023 presidential election, as well as other elections to the Senate and elections to the House of Representatives; with state elections being held two weeks later. Primaries were held between 4 April and 9 June 2022.
In terms of the previous Senate elections, only one of the three incumbent senators were returned as Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi (APC-North) (APC-West) were re-elected while David Umaru (APC-East) and Sani Mohammed (APC-South) lost renomination. In the North district, Abdullahi was re-elected with 65% of the vote; in the open East seat, Sani Musa held the seat for the APC with 65% of the vote while as Muhammad Bima Enagi held the South seat for the APC with 61%. These results were a part of the continuation of the Niger APC's dominance as most House of Representatives seats were won by the party, it won a majority in the House of Assembly, and Buhari won the state in the presidential election.
