The 94th United States Congress began on January 3, 1975. There were five new senators (all Democrats) and 92 new representatives (75 Democrats, 17 Republicans) at the start of the first session. Additionally, nine senators (five Democrats, four Republicans) and nine representatives (six Democrats, three Republicans) took office on various dates in order to fill vacancies during the 94th Congress before it ended on January 3, 1977.

Due to redistricting in California, one representative was elected from a newly established congressional district.
