The2020 United States House of Representatives elections in Louisiana were held on November 3, 2020, to elect the sixU.S. representatives from thestate ofLouisiana, one from each of the state's sixcongressional districts. The elections coincided withother elections to the House of Representatives,elections to theUnited States Senate, and variousstate andlocal elections.

Like most Louisiana elections, these were conducted using ajungle primary that occurred on November 3, where all candidates ran on the same ballot in the primary, regardless of party. Any candidate who earned an absolute majority of the vote in the primary would be automatically declared the winner of the election. However, if in any given congressional district no candidate gained an absolute majority of the votes, a runoff election between the top two candidates within said congressional district would have been held on December 5. The5th district was the only one that did not have its incumbent run for re-election, and also held the only runoff election.
