The Sixty-second United States Congress was a meeting of the United States national legislature, comprised of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. It met in Washington, DC from March 4, 1911 to March 3, 1913, during the last two years of the administration of U.S. President William H. Taft.

The apportionment of seats in this House of Representatives was based on the Eleventh Census of the United States in 1900. The Senate had a Republican majority, and the House had a Democratic majority.

This is the Congress that was in session when the Titanic tragicly sank in the Atlantic on April 15, 1912.
