The Swansea East by-election, 1919 was a parliamentary by-election held for the British House of Commons constituency of Swansea East on 10 July 1919.
The seat had become vacant when the Coalition Liberal Member of Parliament (MP) Thomas Jeremiah Williams had died on 12 June 1919, aged 46. He had held the seat since its creation at the 1918 general election.
The Coalition Liberal candidate, David Matthews, held the seat for his party, but with a greatly reduced majority. His Labour opponent, David Williams, stood again at the 1922 general election and won the seat.
