The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Massachusetts were held on November 8, 2022, to elect the nine U.S. representatives from the state of Massachusetts, one from each of the state's nine congressional districts. The elections coincided with other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate and various state and local elections. Two Republican primaries (in the 8th and 9th districts) were held on September 6. No other candidate faced a competitive primary. Massachusetts is the most populous state in which only a single party won seats in 2022.
