On November 6, 1984, the United States ' House of Representatives was elected. The election was part of the general election to the 99th United States Congress that year, which also elected a third of US Senators . At the same time, the 1984 presidential election , won by Republican incumbent Ronald Reagan , took place.

The number of MPs to be elected was 435. The distribution of seats was based on the 1980 census .

In the elections there was a slight loss for the Democrats, who had to give 16 seats to the Republicans. Nevertheless, with 254 congressmen, they were able to maintain their absolute majority in this body. However, no general trend can be read from the result. The Republicans won the presidential election with the now popular Ronald Reagan, but lost two seats in the Senate. However, they retained an absolute majority there. On the whole, the majority structure in both chambers of congress changed only slightly and did not change the previous situation.
