1914 United States House of Representatives elections were elections for theUnited States House of Representatives to elect members to serve in the64th United States Congress. They were held for the most part on November 3, 1914, while Maine held theirs on September 14. They were held in the middle ofPresidentWoodrow Wilson's first term.

The oppositionRepublican Party had recovered from the split they underwent during the1912 presidential election, and the party gained more than 60 seats from theDemocratic Party, though not enough to regain control of the body. The burgeoning economy greatly aided Republicans, who pushed for probusiness principles and took credit for the success that had been reached in the industrial sector. Manyprogressive Republicans rejoined the Republican Party, but six remained under theProgressive Party banner in the new Congress. In addition,William Kent was re-elected inCalifornia's 1st congressional district as anindependent, and twominor party candidates were elected:Charles H. Randall, aProhibition Party member, inCalifornia's 9th congressional district; andMeyer London, aSocialist Party member, inNew York's 12th congressional district.

The election was the first of four times in the 20th century in which either party won the House majority without winning the popular vote, with the subsequent three instances occurring in1942,1952, and1996; Democrats won the House majority without winning the popular vote in the former election, while Republicans did so in the latter two.^[3][4]
