The1928 United States House of Representatives elections were elections for theUnited States House of Representatives to elect members to serve in the71st United States Congress. They were held for the most part on November 6, 1928, while Maine held theirs on September 10. They coincided with theelection ofPresident Herbert Hoover.

The strength of the U.S. economy resulted in Hoover'sRepublican Party victory in the election, helping them to scoop up 32 House seats, almost all from the oppositionDemocratic Party, thus increasing their majority. Thebig business-supported wing of the Republican Party continued to cement control. Republican gains proved even larger than anticipated during this election cycle, as an internal party feud over theProhibition issue weakened Democratic standing. Losses of several rural, Protestant Democratic seats can be somewhat linked toanti-Catholic sentiments directed toward the party's presidential candidate,Al Smith.

However, this would be the last time for68 years that a Republican House was re-elected. This is the last time that Republicans won the House popular vote by double-digits.
