= 23 June 2022 by-elections in the United Kingdom =

Two by-elections to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom were held on Thursday, 23 June 2022, in the constituencies of Tiverton & Honiton, in the county of Devon, and Wakefield, in the county of West Yorkshire. Both seats had previously been held by Conservative MPs, Neil Parish and Imran Ahmad Khan respectively, with the by-elections triggered due to the resignations of both men. Parish resigned on 30 April after admitting to viewing pornography in the House of Commons on two occasions, while Khan resigned on 3 May after being convicted of sexual assault against a 15 year old in 2009.

The Conservatives lost both seats by significant margins; Tiverton & Honiton was won by Liberal Democrats candidate Richard Foord, while Wakefield was won by Labour candidate Simon Lightwood.
