The 2016 United States House of Representatives elections will be held on November 8, 2016. Elections will be held to elect representatives from all 435 congressional districts across each of the 50 U.S. states. Non-voting delegates from the District of Columbia and the five inhabited U.S. territories will also be elected. The winners of this election will serve in the 115th United States Congress, with seats apportioned among the states based on the 2010 United States Census. In October 2015, Speaker of the House John Boehner resigned his position; the House elected Congressman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as his replacement. Nancy Pelosi continues to lead House Democrats as Minority Leader.

Forty-three Representatives declined to seek re-election in 2016.
