The 1890 United States House of Representatives elections were held in the middle of President Benjamin Harrison's term. A stagnant economy which became worse after the Panic of 1890, combined with a lack of support for then Representative William McKinley's (defeated in the election) steep tariff act, which favored large industries at the expense of consumers, led to a sharp defeat for Harrison's Republican Party, giving a large majority to the Democratic Party and presaging Harrison's defeat in the 1892 United States presidential election. The Republican-controlled Congress was highly criticized for its lavish spending, and it earned the unflattering nickname of The Billion Dollar Congress. Democrats promised to cut the outlandish budget.

  • Bei den Wahlen zum Repräsentantenhaus der Vereinigten Staaten 1890 wurden am 4. November 1890 die Abgeordneten des Repräsentantenhauses gewählt. In fünf Staaten fanden diese Wahlen bereits zwischen Juni und Oktober statt. Die Wahlen waren Teil der allgemeinen Wahlen zum 52. Kongress der Vereinigten Staaten in jenem Jahr, bei denen auch ein Drittel der US-Senatoren gewählt wurden. Da die Wahlen etwa in der Mitte der Amtszeit des Republikanischen Präsidenten Benjamin Harrison stattfanden (Midterm Election), galten sie auch als Votum über die bisherige Politik des Präsidenten.
