The 2000 United States House of Representatives elections in Indiana were held on November 7, 2000, to elect the ten U.S. representatives from the state of Indiana, one from each of the state's ten congressional districts. The elections coincided with the 2000 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate and various state and local elections.

The results saw several incumbents retaining their seats, with Representatives David McIntosh and Edward Pease retiring, the former to run for Governor of Indiana.[1] Republicans maintained their majority in Indiana's delegation, holding a 6-4 advantage over the Democrats.
