The Chippenham by-election, 1943 was a parliamentary by-election held on 24th August 1943 for the British House of Commons constituency of Chippenham in Wiltshire.
The seat had become vacant when the constituency's Conservative Member of Parliament (MP), Victor Cazalet, was killed in an aircraft crash on 4th July 1943, aged 46. He had held the seat since the 1924 general election.
The result was a narrow victory for the Conseravtive candidate, David Eccles over his sole opponent, the Independent Liberal Dr D. M. Johnson.
