The 1941 United States Senate special election in Mississippi was held on September 29 to complete the unexpired term of Senator Pat Harrison . Interim Senator James Eastland did not run for a full term in office. In the election, U.S. Representative Wall Doxey narrowly defeated his House colleague Ross A. Collins .

Johnson Sr. appointed Democratic planter and former state representative James Eastland on June 30 to fill the vacant seat until a successor could be duly elected. Eastland was appointed after his father, Woods Eastland, declined and on the condition that he would not run in the special election to complete the term.[citation needed
