The 1968 Arizona House of Representatives elections were held on November 5, 1968. Voters elected all 60 members of the Arizona House of Representatives in multi-member districts to serve a two-year term. The elections coincided with the elections for other offices, including Governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and State Senate.
Primary elections were held on September 10, 1968.
Prior to the elections, the Republicans held a majority of 33 seats over the Democrats' 27 seats.
Following the elections, Republicans maintained control of the chamber and expanded their majority to 34 Republicans to 26 Democrats, a net gain of one seat for Republicans.
The newly elected members served in the 29th Arizona State Legislature, during which Republican John H. Haugh was chosen as Speaker of the Arizona House.
