The 2024 Wyoming House of Representatives election was held on November 5, 2024, to elect members of the Wyoming Legislature for its 68th session. Partisan primaries were held on August 20. Part of the 2024 United States elections, the election was held alongside races for state senate, U.S. House, U.S. Senate, and the presidential election.
The Wyoming Freedom Caucus won enough primaries to gain control of the state house for the first time, and Democrats flipped a single seat in the legislature in the general election. Representative Chip Neiman, a member of the Wyoming Freedom Caucus, has declared his intent to run for Speaker of the House, and is unopposed as of November 14.
