A Dáil by-election was held in the constituency of Wexford in Ireland on Tuesday, 4 December 1945, to fill a vacancy in the 12th Dáil. It followed the death of Labour TD Richard Corish on 19 July 1945.[1]

In 1945, Wexford was a five seat constituency comprising County Wexford and several electoral divisions in County Carlow.[2]

The writ of election to fill the vacancy was agreed by the Dáil on 14 November 1945.[3]

The by-election was won by the Labour candidate Brendan Corish, son of the deceased TD, Richard Corish.[4]

Four other by-elections were held on the same day: in Clare, Dublin North-West, Kerry South and Mayo South. Three by-elections were won by Fianna Fáil, one by Clann na Talmhan, and one by Labour.
