The U.S. House election, 1810 was an election for the United States House of Representatives to the Twelfth United States Congress. Voting in the various states took place between April 1810 (New York) and August 1811 (Tennessee). Louisiana elected its first representative in September 1812. Congress assembled on November 4, 1811.

With the repeal of the Embargo Act of 1807, the Democratic-Republicans enjoyed a renewed popularity, increased their majority, and regained about half of the seats that were lost in the prior election. As the economy improved following the reopening of the export market, many of the seats that had entered Federalist hands over economic concerns reverted back to the Democratic-Republicans.
