The House of Representatives of Atmora (Iravian: Kamer van Afgevaardigden van Atmora) is a component of the Parliament of Atmora, along with the Sovereign and the Senate. The House of Representatives chamber is located in the Centre Block of the parliament buildings on Parliament Hill in Alexandria.

The House is an elected body consisting of 1130 members known as Members of Parliament (MPs). Members are elected to represent constituencies by first-past-the-post and hold their seats until Parliament is dissolved.

Seats in the House of Representatives are distributed roughly in proportion to the population of each state. However, some ridings are more populous than others, and the Atmoran constitution contains some special provisions regarding state representation. As a result, there is some interstate and regional malapportionment relative to population.

The House of Representatives was established in 1796, when the Anthold Constitution created foundation of the Atmoran Confederation, and was modelled on the Lieseltanian House of Commons. The lower of the two houses making up the parliament, the House of Representatives in practice holds far more power than the upper house, the Senate. Although the approval of both Houses is necessary for legislation, the Senate very rarely rejects bills passed by the commons (though the Senate does occasionally amend bills). Moreover, the Cabinet is responsible solely to the House of Representatives. The chancellor stays in office only as long as they retain the support, or "confidence", of the lower house.
