2010 Georgia House of Representatives election

The 2010 Georgia House of Representatives elections occurred on November 2, 2010, to elect the members to the Georgia House of Representatives. All 180 seats in the state House were up for two-year terms. The winners of this election cycle served in the 151st Georgia General Assembly. It was the last election to the House before the 2010 redistricting cycle based on the 2010 United States census.

Eight state representatives (C. Ellis Black, Amy Carter, Mike Cheokas, Bubber Epps, Gerald Greene, Bob Hanner, Doug McKillip, and Alan Powell) switched from the Democratic to the Republican Party after the election. This gave Republicans a 116-63-1 majority.
