By-elections in Kinabatangan are scheduled to be held on 24 January 2026 for the Dewan Rakyat seat of Kinabatangan. It was called following the death of Bung Moktar Radin on 5 December 2025. Bung served as the Kinabatangan MP from 1999. The by-election is held concurrently with the 2026 Lamag by-election, the state seat Bung held.

The election is the fourth federal by-election since GE15 and part of the second set of by-elections where an incumbent death led to simultaneous by-elections in both parliamentary and state constituencies since Pulai and Simpang Jeram in 2023.
