A by-election for the United Kingdom parliamentary constituency of Norwich North was held on 23 July 2009, following the resignation of incumbent Labour Party MP Ian Gibson after being banned from standing as the party's candidate at the next general election due to the MPs' expenses scandal. It was won by Chloe Smith of the Conservative Party, who at 27 years old became the youngest member of the House of Commons, known as the Baby of the House.
