A by-election for the United Kingdom parliamentary constituency of Middlesbrough was held on 29 November 2012. It was caused by the death of incumbent Labour Party member of Parliament (MP) Sir Stuart Bell. Andy McDonald of Labour won the by-election, retaining the seat for the party.
It was held on the same day as by-elections in Croydon North and Rotherham. The deadline for nominations was 14 November. UKIP came second and the Liberal Democrats third.
