List of speakers of the Oregon House of Representatives

This is a complete list of people who have served as speakers of the Oregon House of Representatives through the most recent session. Oregon became a state on February 14, 1859, with prior sessions of the House organized under the territorial government and the provisional government. Prior to the adoption of the second set of Organic Laws in 1845, the legislative body of the provisional government was the legislative committee, and leaders of that body are not listed below.

As of 2024 and the end of the 82nd Oregon Legislative Assembly, Julie Fahey is serving as the current speaker.
