The 1994 Arizona House of Representatives election took place on Tuesday, November 8, 1994, with the primary election held on Tuesday, September 13, 1994.[3][4] Arizona voters elected all 60 members of the Arizona House of Representatives in multi-member districts to serve two-year terms.[5]

The election coincided with United States national elections and Arizona state elections, including U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Governor, and Arizona Senate.[3][4]

Following the previous election in 1992, Republicans held a 35-to-25-seat majority over Democrats.[6] Republicans expanded their majority in 1994, winning 38 seats. At 22 members, Democrats saw a net loss of three seats.[7] The newly elected members served in the 42nd Arizona State Legislature, during which Republican Mark W. Killian was re-elected as Speaker of the Arizona House.[a]
