The 2012 United States House of Representatives elections in New York will be held on Tuesday, November 6, 2012 to elect the twenty seven U.S. Representatives from the state, one from each of the state's twenty seven congressional districts, a loss of two seats following the 2010 United States Census. The elections will coincide with the elections of other federal and state offices, including a quadrennial presidential election, and a U.S. Senate election.

Election races are listed under the current 29 districts. Each caucus in the New York State Legislature released their proposed 27-district maps to an appointed special master on February 29, 2012.[1] The special master released her own proposed maps on March 6.[2]
