The 1963 Mississippi House of Representatives election was held on November 5, 1963, in the U.S. State of Mississippi to elect members of the Mississippi House of Representatives for its 1964 session. The Democratic primaries were held on August 6, with runoffs held if necessary on August. 27.
This was the first state house election after the 1963 referendum passing reapportionment of the state legislature, the first time the state had done so since 1890. The state house shrunk from 140 members to 122.
Lewis McAllister, the sole Republican in the legislature, held onto his seat in Lauderdale County by a slim margin. McAllister was first elected in a special election earlier that year in February. There were no Republicans on the ballot in Mississippi in the 1959 general election.
The election was held alongside elections for governor and state senate.
