2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Massachusetts

The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Massachusetts were held on November 8, 2022, to elect the nine U.S. representatives from the state of Massachusetts, one from each of the state's nine 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. Two Republican primaries (in the 8th and 9th districts) were held on September 6. No other candidate faced a competitive primary. Massachusetts is the most populous state in which only a single party won seats in 2022.

District 1

The 1st district is based in the western and central parts of the state, and includes the city of Springfield. The incumbent was Democrat Richard Neal, who was reelected with 96.5% of the vote in 2020 without major-party opposition.
