The 1862–63 United States House of Representatives elections were held on various dates in various states between June 2,1862,and November 3,1863,during the American Civil War and President Abraham Lincoln's first term.

The congressional reapportionment based on the 1860 United States Census was performed assuming the seceded states were still in the union,increasing the number of congressional districts to 241.
