List of United States senators from Tennessee
Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates Script error: No such module "Multiple image". Tennessee was admitted to the Union on June 1, 1796. Its United States Senate seats were declared vacant in March 1862 owing to its secession from the Union. They were again filled from July 1866. Tennessee's current senators are Republicans Marsha Blackburn (since 2019) and Bill Hagerty (since 2021). Kenneth McKellar was Tennessee's longest-serving senator (1917–1953).
