The U.S. House election, 1936 was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1936 which coincided with President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's landslide re-election. Roosevelt's Democratic Party, gained twelve more net seats from the Republican Party, bringing them above a three-fourths majority. This was the largest majority since Reconstruction.

Significant representation from the Progressives of Wisconsin and Farmer-Labors of Minnesota is also seen, as these two populist liberal groups gained a foothold.

The 1936 elections showed the continuing trust of the American people in that Roosevelt would guide the nation from depression. Despite setbacks, the people had faith in the New Deal and elected leaders who supported its measures.
