A Dáil by-election was held in the constituency of Donegal in the Irish Free State on Thursday, 20 November 1924, to fill a vacancy in the 4th Dáil. Donegal was an 8-seat constituency consisting of the administrative county of County Donegal.[1]

Cumann na nGaedheal TD Peter J. Ward resigned on 1 August 1924.[2] The writ of election to fill the vacancy was agreed by the Dáil on 28 October 1924.[3] It was one of five by-elections agreed that day. The Cumann na nGaedheal candidate, Denis McCullough, was a former president of the Irish Republican Brotherhood who had unsuccessfully contested the 1918 general election and the 1921 election.[4]
