A by-election for the United Kingdom parliamentary constituency of Wythenshawe and Sale East was held on 13 February 2014, following the death of incumbent Labour Party MP Paul Goggins. The election was won by Labour candidate Mike Kane with a greatly increased share of the vote.

The UK Independence Party (UKIP) came second with a large increase in vote share, having previously performed underwhelmingly in the seat. Both governing parties performed poorly: the Conservative Party fell to third place, and the Liberal Democrats lost their deposit.
