The 2016 United States House of Representatives election in North Dakota was held on November 8, 2016, to elect the U.S. representative from North Dakota's at-large congressional district. The election coincided with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, the North Dakota Governor election, U.S. Senate election, as well as other statewide, legislative, and local elections. This was first House election since the state legislature changed voter ID requirements, revoking the ability to vote using a student ID.[1]

Incumbent Republican U.S. Representative Kevin Cramer ran for a third term.[2] The primaries were held on June 14.
