The U.S. House election, 1920 was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1920 which coincided with the election of President Warren G. Harding.

The incumbent Democratic administration of Woodrow Wilson had lost popularity in the wake of World War I due to support for the League of Nations and struggles with Congress. Harding's Republican Party promised a new start and isolation from European political struggles. In turn, the Republicans gained a net of 62 seats, giving them an overwhelming majority.
