The 1907 United States House of Representatives elections in Oklahoma were held on September 17, 1907 to elect the five U.S. representatives from the state of Oklahoma, which was set to be admitted to the Union on November 16, 1907.[1] Members were elected to short terms that would last the remainder of the 60th Congress.

Upon statehood, Oklahoma was delegated five congressional districts, which were held by four Democratic representatives and one Republican. The 1st, 2nd, and 5th districts contained the obsolete Oklahoma Territory, while the 3rd and 4th districts consisted of the adjacent Indian Territory.
