The 2018 United States House of Representatives elections in New Hampshire were held on November 6, 2018, to elect the two U.S. representatives from the state of New Hampshire, 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.

Following the 2018 elections, the Democratic Party retained both of New Hampshire's House seats in Congress, and thus maintained control of all of New Hampshire's Congressional (House and Senate) delegation.
