The 1950 United States House of Representatives election in Wyoming was held on November 7, 1950. Incumbent Republican Congressman Frank A. Barrett opted to successfully run for Governor rather than seek re-election. State Representative William Henry Harrison, the grandson of President Benjamin Harrison, won the Republican nomination, and faced John B. Clark, the Chairman of the Wyoming Democratic Party, in the general election. Harrison ultimately defeated Carl with 54 percent of the vote.
