The 2012 United States House of Representatives elections in Massachusetts were held on Tuesday, November 6, 2012, to elect the nine U.S. representatives from the state of Massachusetts, a loss of one seat following the 2010 census,[1] for service in the 113th Congress from January 3, 2013, to January 3, 2015.

The candidate elected in each of the state's congressional districts was a member the Democratic Party.

Democrat Barney Frank, who has represented the 4th district since 1981, retired rather than run for re-election.
