The 2022 Maine House of Representatives elections took place on November 8, 2022, alongside the biennial United States elections. Maine voters elected members of the Maine House of Representatives via instant-runoff voting in all 151 of the state house's districts, as well as a non-voting member from the Passamaquoddy Tribe. These were the first elections in Maine following the 2020 United States redistricting cycle, which resulted in nearly all members being assigned to new districts.

The election was also held alongside elections for the Maine Senate.

State representatives serve two-year terms in the Maine State House.

Democrats gained five seats and Republicans gained four seats, many of them previously vacant.[4]
