The1926 United States House of Representatives elections were elections for theUnited States House of Representatives to elect members to serve in the70th United States Congress. They were held for the most part on November 2, 1926, while Maine held theirs on September 13. They occurred in the middle ofPresidentCalvin Coolidge's second term.

Coolidge'sRepublican Party lost seats to the oppositionDemocratic Party, but it retained a majority. The most pressing national matters at the time were fragmented, generally related to government's relationship to business or to providing social aid. However, no predominant issue was able to cast a shadow over the election. The small,populist Farmer–Labor Party also held two seats following the election.
