Elections to the House of Representatives in Missouri for the 23rd Congress were held August 5, 1832 and August 6, 1833, for two Representatives. Unusually, rather than a single election for both seats, the second seat was elected a year after the first.

Background

In the 22nd Congress, Missouri had been represented by a single Representative elected at-large. With reapportionment following the census of 1830, Missouri's representation increased to 2 representatives. Going into the election, Missouri was represented by William H. Ashley (J), who had been elected in a special election held in 1831.
