The 2023 Nigerian Senate elections in Ogun State was held on 25 February 2023, to elect the 3 federal Senators from Ogun State, one from each of the state's three senatorial districts. The elections coincided 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 the previous Senate elections, none of the three incumbent senators were returned with all three retiring at the end of their terms. In the Central district election, Ibikunle Amosun (APC) gained the seat for the APC with 49% of the vote while Ramoni Olalekan Mustapha (APC) won the East district with 44%. In the West district, Tolu Odebiyi (APC) won the race with just 29% of the vote. The senatorial results were a continuation of APC control in the state as the party also won most House of Representatives seats, won a majority in the House of Assembly, and won the gubernatorial election along with Buhari winning the state in the presidential election.
