2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Maryland

The 2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Maryland were held on November 5, 2024, to elect the eight U.S. representatives from the state of Maryland, one from each of the state's eight congressional districts. The elections coincided with the 2024 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections. The Democratic and Republican primary elections were held on May 14, 2024.

Two incumbent U.S. representatives—Dutch Ruppersberger and John Sarbanes—opted to retire instead of seek re-election, while David Trone ran unsuccessfully in the 2024 United States Senate election in Maryland, losing to eventual winner Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobrooks in the Democratic primary. The three retiring congressmen were succeeded by Johnny Olszewski, who was elected to the 2nd district; Sarah Elfreth, who was elected to the 3rd district; and April McClain Delaney, who was elected to the 6th district. The election of Elfreth and McClain Delaney marks the first time Maryland has a female U.S. representative since 2017, and the first time multiple women have served in the state's delegation simultaneously since 1995.
