1800–1801 United States House of Representatives elections in Rhode Island

Of the 2 Rhode Island incumbents, neither were re-elected.

Rhode Island switched to a general ticket for its two seats, instead of electing each one separately. Only one candidate received a majority in the 1800 election, requiring an 1801 run-off election to choose a Representative for the second seat.
