The North Carolina House of Representatives is one of the two houses of the North Carolina General Assembly. The House is a 120 member body led by a Speaker of the House, who holds powers similar to those of the President pro-tem in the state senate. Joe Hackney (D-Orange) is the current Speaker.

In the 2009-2010 session (based on the results of the 2008 elections), the Democratic Party holds a 68-52 majority over the Republican Party[1], which is the same partisan makeup as the 2007-2008 session. In 2005-2006, the Democratic Party held a 63-57 majority.

The qualifications to be a member of the House are found in the state Constitution: "Each Representative, at the time of his election, shall be a qualified voter of the State, and shall have resided in the district for which he is chosen for one year immediately preceding his election." Elsewhere, the constitution specifies that no elected official shall be under twenty-one years of age, and that no elected officials may deny the existence of God, although the latter provision is not enforced because it violates the no religious test clause of the United States Constitution.

Prior to the Constitution of 1868, the lower house of the North Carolina Legislature was known as the North Carolina House of Commons.
