The Inangahua by-election of 1893 was a by-election held on 8 June 1893 during the 11th New Zealand Parliament in the West Coast seat of Inangahua.

The by-election was held because of the bankruptcy of the previous MP Richard Reeves who had won the seat by just one vote.

This election saw Robert Stout, a twice former premier, who had been out of parliament since 1887 return under the newly organised New Zealand Liberal Party. Patrick O'Regan would also stand for the New Zealand Liberal Party in later years and won the seat of Inangahua at the New Zealand general election, 1893.^[1] This was the last by-election (or general election) in New Zealand held before the introduction of universal suffrage.
