Elections to the South Dakota Senate were held on November 7, 1944, to elect 35 candidates to the Senate to serve a two-year term in the 29th South Dakota Legislature. The 28th Legislature's four Democratic senators were completely wiped out of the chamber, with Republicans taking all thirty-five seats. Republican Senator Charles S. Reed of Rapid City (District 28, Pennington County) was elected President pro tempore of the Senate.
This election took place alongside races for U.S. presidential electors, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, governor, state house, and numerous other state and local elections.
