The House of Representatives (Nepali: Pratinidhi Sabha) was the lower house of parliament during the 1990 Constitution in Nepal. It consisted of 205 members directly elected by the people. It had five-year terms, but it could be dissolved by the king on the advice of the prime minister before the ending of its term.

On January 15, 2007, the Pratinidhi Sabha was dissolved and substituted by an interim legislature. The new interim legislature is largely composed of former Pratinidhi Sabha MPs.
