United States House of Representatives elections, 1814

The U.S. House election, 1814 was an election for the United States House of Representatives to the Fourteenth United States Congress. Voting in the various states was held between April 1814 (New York) and August 10, 1815 (North Carolina). The Congress met on December 4, 1815. Indiana elected its first Representative on August 5, 1816.

Although this election was fought in the middle of the War of 1812, which was extremely unpopular in certain portions of the country, the ruling Democratic-Republican Party made slight gains. Despite the negatives of the war, including the failed American invasion of Upper Canada (Ontario) and the siege of the nation's capital by the British, the war was viewed by many as relatively successful. National morale was high because the small American military had been able to fight a relatively even war with the powerful, but overstretched, British forces in this mostly coastal and frontier conflict.
