The 2002 United States House of Representatives elections were held on November 5, 2002, in the middle of President George W. Bush's first term, to elect U.S. Representatives to serve in the 108th United States Congress. This was the first congressional election using districts drawn up during the 2000 United States redistricting cycle on the basis of the 2000 census.

Although it was a midterm election under a Republican president, the Republican Party made a net gain of eight seats, giving the party their largest majority since 1995. This was one of three midterm elections in which the president's party did not experience a net loss of seats in either the House or the Senate (the other such midterm elections were in 1934 and 1998). Some speculate that this may have been due to increased support for the president's party in the wake of the September 11 attacks.^[1] It was the most recent midterm election in which the president's party did not lose control of the House.
