Onslow by-election, 1954

Winner
  
Henry May

The Onslow by-election of 1954 was a by-election for the electorate of Onslow during the 30th New Zealand Parliament. It resulted from the death of the Labour Member of Parliament Harry Combs on 12 June 1954.

As a general election was due towards the end of 1954 (and was held on 13 November), the nominated Labour candidate Henry May was not opposed, so was declared elected (from 7 July 1954) when the writs closed for candidates.
