The1828–29 United States House of Representatives elections were held on various dates in various states between July 9, 1828, and October 5, 1829. Each state set its own date for its elections to theHouse of Representatives before the first session of the21st United States Congress convened on December 7, 1829. Elections were held for all 213 seats, representing 24 states.

They occurred while Jacksonians soundly took control of the presidency, withAndrew Jackson's victory, they greatly increased their majority in Congress. Outgoing PresidentJohn Quincy Adams's unpopularity played a major role in the Jacksonian pickup, as did the perception of the Anti-Jacksonian Party as urban and elitist. Major increases in suffrage also heightened Jacksonian wins, as newly enfranchised voters tended to associate with Jacksonian principles. The Anti-Masonic Party, a single issue faction based on distrust ofFreemasonry, became the first third party in American history to garner seats in the House.
