The 2000 United States House of Representatives elections on November 7, 2000 coincided with the election of George W. Bush as President. The Republican Party narrowly lost seats to the Democratic Party, reducing their majority slightly to just three seats.

This marked the third time in a row that Democrats gained on the majority Republicans. Like the 1990 election, both major parties lost votes to the Libertarian Party, the Green Party and other third parties in addition to independent candidates. The resulting balance of seats, 221 to 212, was the slimmest majority held by either party since 1952, and the slimmest majority over the past six decades as of December 2020.[1]

This was the last congressional election that chose members from districts drawn based on the 1990 census.
