Elections to the United States House of Representatives were held in Pennsylvania on October 11, 1808, for the 11th Congress.

Background

Eighteen Representatives had been elected in the previous election, 15 Democratic-Republicans and 3 Federalists. All three Federalists and two of the Democratic-Republicans were quids, an alliance of moderate Democratic-Republicans and Federalists. One seat held by a Democratic-Republican had become vacant prior to this election and was filled in a special election held at the same time as this election.

Congressional districts

Pennsylvania was divided into 11 districts, of which four were plural districts with 11 Representatives between them, with the remaining 7 Representatives elected from single-member districts. The districts were:

• The Шаблон:Ushr (3 seats) consisted of Delaware and Philadelphia counties (including the City of Philadelphia)
• The Шаблон:Ushr (3 seats) consisted of Bucks, Luzerne, Montgomery, Northampton, and Wayne Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr (3 seats) consisted of Berks, Chester, and Lancaster Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr (2 seats) consisted of Cumberland, Dauphin, Huntingdon, and Mifflin Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr consisted of Centre, Clearfield, Lycoming, McKean, Northumberland, Potter, and Tioga Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr consisted of Adams and York Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr consisted of Bedford and Franklin Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr consisted of Armstrong, Cambria, Indiana, Jefferson, Somerset, and Westmoreland Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr consisted of Fayette and Greene Counties
• The Шаблон:Ushr consisted of Washington County
• The Шаблон:Ushr consisted of Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Crawford, Erie, Mercer, Venango, and Warren Counties

Luzerne County's western border was altered between the 1806 and 1808 elections, altering the boundary between the 2nd and 5th districts

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

Election results

Thirteen incumbents (10 Democratic-Republicans and 3 Federalists) ran for re-election, of whom 11 won re-election. The incumbents Jacob Richards (DR) of the Шаблон:Ushr, John Hiester (DR) of the Шаблон:Ushr, Daniel Montgomery (DR) of the Шаблон:Ushr and William Hoge (DR) of the Шаблон:Ushr did not run for re-election.
