A by-election was held on October 6, 2025, in the provincial riding of Miramichi West in New Brunswick, Canada.

The by-election is to fill the vacant seat left by the resignation of PC MLA Michael Dawson who successfully ran in Miramichi—Grand Lake to represent the region federally during the 2025 federal election. It is the first time the Libertarian Party of New Brunswick has run in Miramichi. The first by-election since the 2024 provincial general election, it is considered an early test for Premier Susan Holt's government.

Advance polling occurred on Saturday, September 27 and Monday, September 29.
