The 2022 Missouri House of Representatives election took place on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, with the primary election held on Tuesday, August 2, 2022.^[1] ^[2] Missouri voters selected state representatives in all 163 seats of the House of Representatives to serve two-year terms.^[3]

The election coincided with United States national elections and Missouri state elections, including U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Auditor, and Missouri Senate.^[4] ^[5] ^[6] Following the previous election in 2020, Republicans held a 114-to-49-seat supermajority over Democrats.^[7] There was one special election during the legislative term. Representative Kip Kendrick (D) of District 45 resigned on January 6, 2021. David Tyson Smith (D) won the subsequent special election, holding the seat for his party. Going into election day, there were eight vacancies in the chamber: seven vacancies had been held by Republicans and one vacancy had been a Democratic seat. Therefore, on election day 2022, there were 107 Republicans, 48 Democrats, and eight open seats. Republicans maintained the supermajority in 2022, winning 111 seats. At 52 members, Democrats gained their largest share of House seats since 2012.^[8]

These were the first elections in Missouri following the 2020 United States redistricting cycle, which resulted in redrawn legislative district boundaries.^[9] ^[10]
