The 1960 United States House of Representatives elections was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1960, which coincided with the election of President John F. Kennedy and was the first house election to feature all 50 U.S. states. In spite of Kennedy's victory, his Democratic Party lost 20 seats to the Republican Party. That may have been a reaction to the major Democratic gains in the previous election. An end to the economic downturn of the mid-1950s was also a factor. Still, the Democrats retained a clear majority in the House.

There were 437 seats: 435 from the reapportionment in accordance with the 1950 census, and 1 seat for each of the new states of Alaska and Hawaii.
