The 1868–69 United States House of Representatives elections were held on various dates in various states between June 1, 1868, to August 2, 1869. Each state set its own date for its elections to the House of Representatives before or after the first session of the 41st United States Congress convened on March 4, 1869. They coincided with the 1868 United States presidential election, which was won by Ulysses S. Grant. Elections were held for all 243 seats, representing 37 states. All of the former Confederate states were represented in Congress for the first time since they seceded from the Union.

The Democrats gained 20 seats, but Grant's Republican Party retained a commanding majority in the Reconstruction era following the American Civil War, holding onto a firm legitimacy through an association with victory. As more Southern states exited Reconstruction, more Democratic seats appeared in the South. However, Democratic gains in the South were limited, as the Republican powerbrokers of Reconstruction held a great deal of influence. The small Conservative Party of Virginia also picked up several seats in Virginia, as it had support among wealthy Southern leaders who wanted to increase the region's power.
Election summary
Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia were readmitted during this Congress, leaving Congress without vacant State delegations for the first time since 1860. Georgia had been partially readmitted in the previous Congress, but was not initially admitted to the 41st Congress. With Georgia's final readmission in 1870, all former Confederate states were once more represented in Congress.

Election dates
Mississippi held rejected elections on July 1, 1868. New (accepted) elections were held December 1, 1869.
In 1845, Congress passed a law providing for a uniform nationwide date for choosing presidential electors. This law did not affect election dates for Congress, which remained within the jurisdiction of State governments, but over time, the States moved their congressional elections to that date. 1868 was the first year in which the majority of States (20 of 37) held their elections on that date. There were still 9 states which held elections before that date and 4 that held regular elections after that date, in addition to 4 readmitted states that held elections after that date.
- Early dates (1868):
- June 1: Oregon
- September 1: Vermont
- September 14: Maine
- October 13: Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania
- October 22: West Virginia
- ▌Late dates (regular elections):
- December 29, 1868: Florida
- March 9, 1869: New Hampshire
- April 5, 1869: Connecticut
- August 2, 1869: Alabama
- Readmitted states:
- July 6, 1869: Virginia
- December 1, 1869: Mississippi (also held elections to the 42nd Congress on the same day)
- December 3, 1868: Texas

the Reconstruction era following the American Civil War holding onto a firm legitimacy through an association with victory As more Southern states exited Reconstruction more Democratic seats appeared in the South However Democratic gains in the South were limited as the Republican powerbrokers of Reconstruction held a great deal of influence The small Conservative Party of Virginia also picked up several seats in Virginia as it had support among wealthy Southern leaders who wanted to increase the region s power Election summaryMississippi Texas and Virginia were readmitted during this Congress leaving Congress without vacant State delegations for the first time since 1860 Georgia had been partially readmitted in the previous Congress but was not initially admitted to the 41st Congress With
