The1924 United States House of Representatives elections were elections for theUnited States House of Representatives to elect members to serve in the69th United States Congress. They were held for the most part on November 4, 1924, while Maine held theirs on September 8. They coincided with the election to a full term ofPresidentCalvin Coolidge, who had replacedWarren Harding following his death.

Coolidge's popularity helped hisRepublican Party to gain a net 22 seats from the oppositionDemocratic Party, cementing their majority. The burgeoning economy and Republican pro-business policies caused the party to gain popularity. An internal split somewhat reduced House gains, as a progressive faction of the party continued to antagonize party leadership.

In the early stages of the election, there were fears that the Republicans would be swamped at the polls due to several scandals in the administration of PresidentWarren Harding. However, after the chief executive's death, his incidents were painted as personal problems that did not reflect the state of the party. Thepopulist Farmer–Labor Party also gained a seat in Minnesota.

Mary Teresa Norton became the first female Democrat in the House when she wonNew Jersey's 12th district.^[1]
