The Chief Administrative Officer of the United States House of Representatives is the House officer responsible for most administrative functions of the House of Representatives, including human resources, information resources, payroll, finance, procurement, and other business services.

The Chief Administrative Officer is an employee of the United States House of Representatives. Along with the other House officers, the Chief Administrative Officer 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 office of the CAO was first created during the 104th Congress. The current CAO is Daniel P. Beard of the State of Maryland.
