The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Massachusetts were held on November 8, 2022, to elect the nine U.S. representatives from the state of Massachusetts , one from each of the state's nine congressional districts . The elections coincided with other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate and various state and local elections .

[ 1] It is also the most-populous state (and the state with the most congressional districts) in which only a single party won seats in 2022.
