The U.S. House election, 1838 was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1838.

The Whigs continued to make gains in this election, playing on the Panic of 1837. However, even economic crisis and the continuing decline of the third party Anti-Masons, could not unseat the Democrats from power.
