The 2018 United States House of Representatives elections in Rhode Island were held on November 6, 2018, to elect the 2 U.S. Representatives from the state of Rhode Island, one from each of the state's 2 congressional districts. The election coincided with the 2018 U.S. mid-term elections, as well as other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate and various state and local elections. The primaries took place on September 12.[1]
Following the 2018 elections, the Democratic Party retained control of both House seats, and also retained control of the entirety of Rhode Island's Congressional (House and Senate) delegation.
