The U.S. House election, 1942 was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1942 which occurred in the middle of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's third term.

Two main factors led to the Republican gains during this election cycle. Concern over World War II and American involvement in it was one factor in majority party decline, with the Democratic Party losing many votes among Italian and German ethnic communities in particular. Also, many voters were becoming tired with the policies of Roosevelt, who had served an unprecedented amount of time in the White House, and felt that the nation needed to change its direction. Roosevelt's Democratic Party lost 45 seats, retaining only a slender majority though they lost the popular vote. This would be the last election until 1996 that the party who won the popular vote did not win the majority of the House of Representatives.

Indiana

Indiana was redrawn from 12 districts to 11 after reapportionment; most of the districts underwent minor boundary changes, and the old 11th district was divided up, distributing Madison County to the 5th, Hancock County to the 10th, and consolidating the parts of Marion County in the old 11th and Indianapolis-based 12th into a new 11th.[2] This forced incumbents William H. Larrabee and Raymond S. Springer to run against each other in a district drawn mainly from Springer's old district.
