1802 United States House of Representatives elections in Pennsylvania

Elections to the United States House of Representatives were held in Pennsylvania on October 12, 1802, for the 8th Congress.

Background
In the previous election, 13 Representatives (10 Democratic-Republicans and 3 Federalists) had been elected to the 7th Congress. Two (both Democratic-Republicans) had resigned and were replaced in special elections by others of the same party.

Congressional districts
Pennsylvania gained 5 seats in reapportionment following the 1800 census. In redistricting, the number of districts was reduced from 12 to 11, of which four were plural districts with 11 Representatives between them. Most of the new districts had borders that were very different from the previous districts. The new districts were as follows:
 * The PA's 1st congressional district (3 seats) consisted of Delaware and Philadelphia counties (including the City of Philadelphia)
 * The PA's 2nd congressional district (3 seats) consisted of Bucks, Luzerne, Montgomery, Northampton, and Wayne Counties
 * The PA's 3rd congressional district (3 seats) consisted of Berks, Chester, and Lancaster Counties
 * The PA's 4th congressional district (2 seats) consisted of Cumberland, Dauphin, Huntingdon, and Mifflin Counties
 * The PA's 5th congressional district consisted of Centre, Lycoming, and Northumberland Counties
 * The PA's 6th congressional district consisted of Adams and York Counties
 * The PA's 7th congressional district consisted of Bedford and Franklin Counties
 * The PA's 8th congressional district consisted of Armstrong, Somerset, and Westmoreland Counties
 * The PA's 9th congressional district consisted of Fayette and Greene Counties
 * The PA's 10th congressional district consisted of Washington County
 * The PA's 11th congressional district consisted of Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Crawford, Erie, Mercer, Venango, and Warren Counties

Numerous counties had been created between 1800 and 1802 split off from other counties, and several were still administratively attached to other counties.

Note: Many of these counties covered much larger areas than they do today, having since been divided into smaller counties

Election results
Twelve incumbents (9 Democratic-Republicans and 3 Federalists) ran for re-election, many in new districts. William Jones (DR) of the PA's 1st congressional district did not run for re-election. Of those who ran for re-election, all 9 Democratic-Republicans were re-elected, and all 3 Federalists lost to Democratic-Republicans. The six open seats were all won by Democratic-Republicans, returning an all-Democratic-Republican delegation to the 8th Congress.

Special election
William Hoge (DR) of the PA's 10th congressional district resigned October 15, 1804. A special election was held November 2, 1804 to fill the resulting vacancy

John Hoge was William's brother.
