The 1968 Arizona House of Representatives elections were held on November 5, 1968. Voters elected all 60 members of the Arizona House of Representatives in multi-member districts to serve a two-year term. The elections coincided with the elections for other offices, including Governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and State Senate.

Primary elections were held on September 10, 1968.[3]

Prior to the elections, the Republicans held a majority of 33 seats over the Democrats' 27 seats.

Following the elections, Republicans maintained control of the chamber and expanded their majority to 34 Republicans to 26 Democrats, a net gain of one seat for Republicans.[4]

The newly elected members served in the 29th Arizona State Legislature, during which Republican John H. Haugh was chosen as Speaker of the Arizona House.[a]
