An election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect all 160 members to the Massachusetts House of Representatives. The election coincided with elections for other offices, including governor, and U.S. House of Representatives.

Democrats gained 9 seats, increasing their supermajority to 134 out of 160 seats, the largest majority of any party since 2009.[2] Simultaneously with gains in the state senate and Maura Healey's win in the gubernatorial race, Democrats won a trifecta in the state for the first time since 2014.[3]
