The 1992 United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio were held on November 3, 1992, and determined who would represent the state of Ohio in the United States House of Representatives. The primary elections were held on June 2, 1992. ^[1]

Following the 1990 United States Census, Ohio lost two congressional seats, reducing it from 21 seats to 19. ^[2] Representatives are elected for two-year terms; those elected in November 1992 served in the 103rd Congress from January 3, 1993, until January 3, 1995. The election coincided with the 1992 United States presidential election.

Both parties lost one seat following the redistricting from the 1990 Census.
