The United States House of Representatives elections in California, 1932 was an election for California's delegation to the United States House of Representatives, which occurred as part of the general election of the House of Representatives on November 8, 1932. This election began the transition of California from a solidly Republican state to a swing state, which it would be for the next 60 years. California gained nine seats as a result of the 1930 census; it would have been six if the House seats were reapportioned in 1920 since California would have had 14 seats as a result of the 1920 census. Democrats won six of those seats while Republicans won three. Of California's existing seats, Democrats won four Republican-held seats.
