The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Hawaii were held on November 8, 2022, to elect the two U.S. representatives from the state of Hawaii, one from each of the state's two congressional districts. The elections coincided with other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate and various state and local elections.

There was a small swing towards both the Democratic and Republican party candidates as a result of a decreased field of third-party candidates. The only third-party candidate successfully nominated was Michelle Tippens of the Libertarian Party (United States).[1] The Aloha ʻĀina Party focused instead on their campaign for Dan Decker for the 2022 United States' Senate Election. John Giuffre's American Shopping Party was not on the ballot following the State of Hawaii Office of Elections' proclamation to disqualify the party for not receiving the prerequisite support in the 2020 elections. While Giuffre nominated as an independent candidate, he did not receive sufficient support to appear on the ballot.
