2020 United States House of Representatives election in Alaska

The 2020 United States House of Representatives election in Alaska was held on November 3, 2020, to elect the U.S. representative from Alaska's at-large congressional district. The election coincided with the 2020 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate and various state and local elections. This was Don Young's last re-election as he died in office on March 18, 2022. This was also the last time until 2024 that a Republican won Alaska's only congressional U.S. House seat. This was the last Alaska congressional election conducted by plurality voting.
