The 1992 Arizona House of Representatives elections were held on November 3, 1992. Voters elected all 60 members of the Arizona House of Representatives in multi-member districts to serve a two-year term. These were the first elections following the 1990 United States redistricting cycle. The elections coincided with the elections for other offices, including U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and State Senate. Primary elections were held on September 8, 1992.[3]

Prior to the elections, the Republicans held a majority of 33 seats over the Democrats' 27 seats.

The elections occurred in the wake of the AzSCAM scandal, which resulted in a full tenth of the Arizona legislature resigning. A bipartisan debacle, AzSCAM concluded with two in-depth reports on corruption in the House.[4][5]

Following the elections, Republicans maintained control of the chamber and expanded their majority to 35 Republicans to 25 Democrats, a net gain of two seats for Republicans.[6]

The newly elected members served in the 41st Arizona State Legislature, during which Republican Mark W. Killian was elected as Speaker of the Arizona House.[a]
