The '''1872–73 United States House of Representatives elections''' were held on various dates in various states between June 4, 1872, and April 7, 1873. Each state set its own date for its elections to the [[United States House of Representatives|House of Representatives]] before the first session of the [[43rd United States Congress]] convened on December 1, 1873. They coincided with the [[1872 United States presidential election|re-election of United States President]] [[Ulysses S. Grant]]. The [[United States congressional apportionment|congressional reapportionment]] based on the [[1870 United States census]] increased the number of House seats to 292.

Grant's [[United States Republican Party|Republican Party]] increased its majority greatly, partly at the expense of the opposition [[United States Democratic Party|Democratic Party]] and partly by adding 49 new seats to the House. The pro-industry outlook of the Republicans appealed to many Northern voters, especially as the post-war economy exploded, and this allowed the party to flourish as the [[Industrial Revolution]] grew more widespread. The Republicans also benefited from a continuing association with Civil War victory as well as disarray amongst Democratic leadership.

Following the [[1870 United States census|1870 census]], the House was [[United States congressional apportionment#Reapportionment|reapportioned]], initially adding 40 seats,<ref>{{USStat|17|28}}</ref> followed by a subsequent amendment to the apportionment act adding another seat to 9 states,<ref>{{USStat|17|192}}</ref> resulting in a total increase of 49 seats. No states lost seats, 10 states had no change, 13 states gained 1 seat each, 9 states gained 2 seats, 3 states gained 3 seats, 1 State gained 4 seats, and 1 State gained 5 seats. Prior to the supplemental act, two states (New Hampshire and Vermont) had each lost 1 seat. This was the first reapportionment after the repeal of the [[three-fifths compromise]] by the [[Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|14th Amendment]].

This would prove the last time until [[1966 United States House of Representatives elections|1966]] that a Republican won a House seat in Arkansas.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Heersink|first1=Boris|last2=Jenkins|first2=Jeffrey A.|title=Republican Party Politics and the American South, 1865-1968|date=March 19, 2020 |page=256|publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-1107158436}}</ref>
