An election in the U.S. state of Alabama took place on Tuesday, November 8, 1910, to elect 35 representatives to serve 4-year terms in the Alabama Senate.
Thirty-four senators elected were Democrats, and one, James B. Sloan, was a Republican elected to represent the 3rd district. Democrat Finis E. St. John, Sloan's opponent in the general election, filed a contest against Sloan's election alleging voter irregularities in Winston County, a Republican stronghold. St. John withdrew his contest by December 28.
Senator Hugh Morrow of Jefferson County was elected President pro tempore of the Senate without opposition when the legislature convened on January 10, 1911.
