The 1976 United States House of Representatives elections were elections for the

Republican Party in the House. The result was nevertheless disappointing to the Republicans, who were hoping to win back some of the seats they lost in the wake of the Watergate scandal
two years earlier.

This election was the last time Democrats or any party had a two-thirds supermajority in the House. It is also the last congressional election in which Democrats won a House seat in Wyoming.
