The 2020 United States House of Representatives elections in North Carolina were held on November 3, 2020, to elect the 13 U.S. representatives from the state of North Carolina, one from each of the state's 13 congressional districts. The elections coincided with the 2020 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate and various state and local elections.
North Carolina was one of two states in which the party that won the state's popular vote did not win a majority of seats in 2020, the other state being Arizona.

## 2020 North Carolina redistricting

Following a 2019 court order, the North Carolina General Assembly passed a bill with new Congressional districts for the 2020 elections. Among other changes, the 2nd and 6th districts were drawn to be more urban. Those changes led the two incumbents in these districts, George Holding and Mark Walker, respectively, to retire. Both were Republicans, and Democrats won the newly redrawn districts. One other seat was open, as former Rep. Mark Meadows had resigned to become White House Chief of Staff, but a fellow Republican held that seat for the party. Incumbents won all elections in which they ran, with the 8th district (Richard Hudson) seat having the closest margin of victory.
| District | Old PVI | New PVI | Incumbent |
| 1st | D+17 | D+5 | G. K. Butterfield |
| 2nd | R+7 | D+9 | George Holding |
| 3rd | R+12 | R+12 | Greg Murphy |
| 4th | D+17 | D+14 | David Price |
| 5th | R+10 | R+18 | Virginia Foxx |
| 6th | R+10 | D+9 | Mark Walker |
| 7th | R+9 | R+11 | David Rouzer |
| 8th | R+8 | R+5 | Richard Hudson |
| 9th | R+8 | R+7 | Dan Bishop |
| 10th | R+12 | R+20 | Patrick McHenry |
