{{Use mdy dates|date=September 2021}}
The 2019 Nigerian House of Representatives elections in Zamfara State was held on February 23, 2019, to elect members of the House of Representatives to represent Zamfara State, Nigeria. The All Progressives Congress won all seats but the Supreme Court nullified the elections of all the candidates of the APC in the elections. The court ruled that the APC did not conduct valid primaries in the build-up to the elections. A unanimous judgement by a five-member panel of Judges decided that the party had no valid candidate and cannot be said to have won the general elections.{{cite news |last1=Kabir |first1=Adejumo |title=ANALYSIS: The 36 APC losers from Supreme Court's ruling on Zamfara elections |url=https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/331490-analysis-the-36-apc-losers-from-supreme-courts-ruling-on-zamfara-elections.html |access-date=9 October 2021 |publisher=Premium Times}}
