The 1984 Connecticut State Senate elections took place as a part of the biennial 1984 United States elections. All 36 seats were up for re-election. Senators serve two year terms and are up for re-election every election cycle.
Mainly with the help of Reagan's coattails, as he had won Connecticut by twenty-one points on the same ballot, the Republicans took control of the Senate, managing to secure a two-thirds supermajority over the Democrats, although failing to secure a supermajority in the state house.
