This is a list of all by-elections to Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament (Oireachtas) since 1923. By-elections in Ireland occur to fill vacant seats which can be caused by the death, resignation or expulsion of a sitting Teachta Dála (Member of Parliament).

There have been two by-elections during the lifetime of the 30th Dáil. There were no by-elections during the 1st,^{[n 1]} 2nd,^{[n 1]} 3rd, 7th, 9th, 11th, 22nd, 25th and 26th Dála. The longest period without a by-election was almost 10 years between 1984 and 1994. The largest number of by-elections on one day was eight on 11 March 1925.

There have been 125 by-elections since 1923. 89 of these were caused by the death of a sitting Teachta Dála (TD). 22 TDs elected at a by-election were never subsequently re-elected at a general election.
