The 2026 United States House of Representatives elections in Ohio will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect the fifteen U.S. representatives from the State of Ohio, one from each of the state's congressional districts. The elections coincide with other elections to the House of Representatives, a special election to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections. The primary elections took place on May 5, 2026.

Due to constitutional requirements, Ohio needed to redraw its congressional map in time for the 2026 election, as the current map was only valid for two cycles. Republicans initially planned for a map that would have resulted in a 13 Republican to 2 Democrat representation in the state, netting the party 3 seats. In October 2025, Republicans and Democrats on the state's redistricting commission reached a deal that resulted in a map that made Ohio's 1st and 9th congressional district more Republican friendly. Democrats protected the Akron-area 13th congressional district, which was redrawn to be slightly more friendly towards Democrats. The redrawn maps are expected to increase Republican chances to flip OH-1 and OH-9 which Republican nominee Donald Trump would have won in the 2024 presidential election by three and eleven points respectively.
