A by-election for the United Kingdom parliamentary constituency of Airdrie and Shotts was held on 13 May 2021 following the resignation of incumbent Scottish National Party (SNP) MP Neil Gray to run for the corresponding seat—which he subsequently won—in the 2021 Scottish Parliament election. Anum Qaisar-Javed held the seat for the SNP with a decreased majority but an increased share of the vote.
This was the first UK parliamentary by-election in Scotland for nearly 10 years, with the previous one having been the 2011 Inverclyde by-election.
