The U.S. House election, 1910 was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1910 which occurred in the middle of President William Howard Taft's term.

The conservative Taft contended with major factional splits within his Republican Party. The clash of the liberal and conservative wings of the Republican Party, combined with the message of unity from the Democratic Party, was enough to allow the Democrats to take control of the House. The first ever socialist was also elected to Congress during this election cycle.
