Elections to the West Virginia House of Delegates were held on November 5, 1968, to elect 100 candidates to the House to serve a two-year term. The Republican Party gained a net total of two seats in the chamber, reducing the Democrats' majority to 63 seats.
At the opening of the 59th Legislature, Republicans elected former minority leader George H. Seibert back to the position to succeed outgoing delegate Brereton C. Jones, and Democrat Ivor F. Boiarsky was elected speaker.
This election used the map first drawn for the 1964 general election, using plurality block voting in districts with multiple delegates.
