Elections to the United States House of Representatives were held in Pennsylvania on October 9, 1804, for the 9th Congress.
In the previous election, a delegation of all Democratic-Republicans had been elected to Congress. At this time, a moderate wing of the Democratic-Republican party, known as the Constitutional Republicans or tertium quids ("quids" for short) had broken off from the majority and ran candidates in several districts. The Quids were generally allied with the Federalists.
Pennsylvania was divided into 11 districts, of which four were plural districts with 11 Representatives between them. Several new counties were created between the 1802 elections and the 1804 elections. The districts were:
The borders between the 4th, 5th, and 8th districts were altered slightly in the erection of new counties from parts of several counties
Note: Many of these counties covered much larger areas than they do today, having since been divided into smaller counties
