Michigan's at-large congressional district may refer to a few different occasions when a statewideat-large district was used for elections to theUnited States House of Representatives fromMichigan.

Prior to Michigan's admittance as a state of the Union in 1837, congressional delegates forMichigan Territory were elected fromMichigan Territory's at-large congressional district. The first elected U.S. representative from the state was elected October 5 and 6, 1835. However, due to Michigan's dispute with Ohio over theToledo Strip, Congress refused to accept his credentials until it admitted Michigan to the Union as a state on January 26, 1837.

In 1912,Patrick H. Kelley was elected congressman at-large after Michigan gained one seat due to reapportionment following the1910 census, but Michigan did not redraw its congressional districts until 1913.

In 1962,Neil Staebler was elected as an at-large candidate after the1960 census indicated Michigan would gain a seat in the House of Representatives, but the19th district had not been created at the time of the election.
