The 2014 United States House of Representatives elections in California were held on Tuesday, November 4, 2014, with a primary election on June 3, 2014. Voters elected the 53 U.S. representatives from the state of California, one from each of the state's 53 congressional districts. The elections coincided with the elections of other offices, including a gubernatorial election.{{cite web |url=http://vote.sos.ca.gov/returns/us-rep/district/all/ |title=U.S. House of Representatives Results of All Districts |access-date=2014-10-19 |publisher=Secretary of State of California |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141108045506/http://vote.sos.ca.gov/returns/us-rep/district/all |url-status=dead |archive-date=2014-11-08}}
