1972 United States House of Representatives elections

The 1972 United States House of Representatives elections coincided with the landslide reelection victory of President Richard M. Nixon. Nixon's Republican Party managed to gain a net of twelve House of Representatives seats from the Democratic Party, although the Democrats retained a majority.
This was the first election in which citizens at least 18 years of age could vote, due to the recent passage of the 26th Amendment.

Special elections

Six special elections were also held throughout the year, six before November and one concurrent with the November general election.
