1998 Newcastle supplementary election

The 1998 Newcastle supplementary election was held on 21 November 1998 to elect the next member for the division of Newcastle in the Australian House of Representatives, following the death of a candidate during the 1998 federal election campaign.

Background
Australian Democrats candidate Kaye Westbury died on 1 October, two days before the federal election. As it was after the close of nominations, the election was declared 'failed' and a supplementary election had to be held.

The Liberal Party, who had Clive Jensen as their candidate, chose not to contest the supplementary election.

Results
Incumbent Labor MP Allan Morris was re-elected.
