The Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives is an officer of the United States House of Representatives whose primary role is acting as the House's chief record-keeper. The clerk also, however, becomes the legal embodiment of the House between Congresses, allowing the identity of the House as an institution to perdure.

Along with the other House officers, the Clerk is elected every two years when the House organizes for a new Congress. The majority and minority caucuses nominate candidates for the House officer positions after the election of the Speaker. The full House adopts a resolution to elect the officers, who will begin serving the Membership after they have taken the oath of office.

The current Clerk is Lorraine Miller, of Texas. She replaced Karen L. Haas in February 2007. She retained Deputy Clerks Marjorie C. Kelaher and Jorge E. Sorensen. Kelaher retired on May 1, 2007 and was replaced by Deborah Spriggs, an aide to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
