The 2022 Colorado House of Representatives elections took place on November 8, 2022, along with the elections in the State Senate. The primary elections were held on June 28, 2022.[2] Voters in all 65 districts of the state House elected their representative for a two-year term.[3] These coincided with other Colorado elections of the same year and the biennial United States elections.

Democrats gained five seats, increasing their majority to 46 out of 65 seats and giving them a supermajority in the State House for the first time in over 50 years.[4]
