The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in West Virginia were held on November 8, 2022, to elect the two U.S. representatives from the State of West Virginia, one from each of the state's two 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.
District boundaries were redrawn to ensure that the districts are apportioned based on data from the 2020 census, which eliminated a congressional district in West Virginia's delegation.
