The 2020 Georgia House of Representatives elections took place on November 3, 2020 as part of the biennial United States elections. Georgia voters elected state representatives in all 180 of the state house's districts to the 156th Georgia General Assembly. State representatives serve two-year terms in the Georgia House of Representatives.

Primaries were held on June 9, 2020, coinciding with primaries for U.S. President, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Georgia House of Representatives, county and regional prosecutorial offices, and primary runoffs are scheduled for August 11, 2020, to determine which candidates will appear on the November 3 ballot.

To reclaim control of the chamber from Republicans, the Democrats needed to net 16 seats. Democrats filed candidacies for 141 total seats in the State House, the highest number of Democratic candidacies for State House since the 1990s.

Republicans retained control of the chamber with 103 seats, but suffered a net loss of 2 seats.
