The 1994 United States House of Representatives election in Vermont was held on Tuesday, November 8, 1994, to elect the U.S. representative from the state's at-large congressional district. The election coincided with the elections of other federal and state offices, including an election to the U.S. Senate.
In the midst of the Republican Revolution, Bernie Sanders was narrowly re-elected by a margin of 3.31% over Republican John Carroll. This was the closest election of Sanders' congressional career, and the last time he lost any Vermont county in a statewide race until 2024.
Sanders received endorsement by the Democratic Party, and continued to caucus with the party.
