The U.S. House election, 1900 was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1900 which coincided with the re-election of President William McKinley.
McKinley's Republican Party gained thirteen seats from the Democratic Party and independents, cementing their majority. A reassertion of Republican control in the Mid-Atlantic was key in the gain of new seats. However, with an improved economy, especially in the industrial sector, the election cycle featured no keystone issue, resulting in a general support for the status quo. The fading Populist Party held on to five House seats.
