The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Illinois will be held on November 8, 2022, to elect the 17 U.S. Representatives from the state of Illinois, one from each of the state's 17 congressional districts (reduced from 18 in the redistricting cycle following the 2020 United States Census).

On November 23, 2021, Governor J.B. Pritzker signed the Illinois Congressional Redistricting Act of 2021, which establishes the new boundaries of the districts, into law.[1]
