Ang Kapulungan ng mga Kinatawan ng Pilipinas (Ingles: House of Representatives of the Philippines) ang mababang kapulungan ng Kongreso ng Pilipinas. Di-pormal itong tinatawag na Kongreso.

The House of Representatives of the Philippines (Filipino: Kapulungan ng mga Kinatawan ng Pilipinas) is the lower house of the Congress of the Philippines. Informally known as Kamara (from the Spanish word Cámara, meaning "chamber"), the lower house is usually called Congress,[a] although the term collectively refers to both houses.[1]
Members of the House are officially styled as representative (kinatawan) and sometimes informally called congressmen or congresswomen (mga kongresista) and are elected to a three-year term. They can be re-elected, but cannot serve more than three consecutive terms. Around eighty percent of congressmen are district representatives, representing a particular geographical area. The 18th Congress has 243[2] congressional districts. Party-list representatives are elected through the party-list system which constitutes not more than twenty percent of the total number of representatives.
Aside from needing its agreement to every bill in order to be sent for the president's signature to become law, the House of Representatives has power to impeach certain officials and all money bills must originate from the lower house.
The House of Representatives is headed by the speaker. The position is currently held by Lord Allan Velasco (Marinduque; PDP–Laban). The speaker of the House is the third in the presidential line of succession, after the vice and senate presidents. The official headquarters of the House of Representatives is at the Batasang Pambansa (literally "national legislature") located in Batasan Hills, Quezon City. The building is often simply called Batasan and the word has also become a metonym to refer to the House of Representatives.
