The 2014 United States House of Representatives elections in Virginia were held on Tuesday, November 4, 2014, to elect the 11 members from the state of Virginia to the United States House of Representatives, one from each of the state's 11 congressional districts. On the same day, elections took place for other federal and state offices, including an election to the United States Senate. Primary elections, in which party nominees were chosen, were held on June 10, 2014.[1]

On June 10, 2014, Republican Eric Cantor became the first sitting House majority leader to lose in a primary election since the position was created in 1899.[2][3][4]

As of 2024, this is the last time Republicans won the House popular vote in Virginia, although they would nevertheless continue to hold a majority of seats in the state until 2018.
