List of Massachusetts Senate delegations
The Massachusetts Senate is the upper house of the Massachusetts General Court , the bicameral state legislature of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts . The Senate comprises 40 elected members from 40 single-member senatorial districts in the state.

The current delegation is the 191st General Court (2019–2020), consisting of 34 Democrats (D) and 6 Republicans (R).
