The1904 United States House of Representatives elections were held for the most part on November 8, 1904, with Oregon, Maine, and Vermont holding theirs early in either June or September. They coincided with the election to a full term ofPresidentTheodore Roosevelt. Elections were held for 386 seats of theUnited States House of Representatives, representing 45 states, to serve in the59th United States Congress.

Roosevelt's popularity swept manyRepublican house candidates into office, cementing their majority over the oppositionDemocratic Party. Because Roosevelt came from a liberal wing of the Republican Party, his ideology was prevalent among freshman representatives. Progressive Republicanism mobilized a new base of support and proved to be especially popular among theProtestantmiddle-class workers who held jobs in business or in the front offices of industrial facilities.
