A by-election for the United Kingdom parliamentary constituency of Kingswood was held on 15 February 2024, following the resignation of incumbent Conservative MP Chris Skidmore. The election was won by Damien Egan of the Labour Party with a 16% swing. The turnout was 37.1%.
Skidmore announced his resignation on 5 January 2024 in protest at the UK government's decision to issue more oil and gas licences. He formally resigned as a member of Parliament three days later on 8 January.
The by-election took place on the same day as the Wellingborough by-election, also gained by Labour from the Conservatives.
