A by-election was held in the Dáil Éireann Longford–Westmeath constituency in Ireland on Friday, 23 May 2014, following the death of Fine Gael Teachta Dála (TD) Nicky McFadden on 25 March 2014. It was held on the same day as the 2014 European and local elections, and the Dublin West by-election.

The Electoral (Amendment) Act 2011 stipulates that a by-election in Ireland must be held within six months of a vacancy occurring.

Fine Gael candidate Gabrielle McFadden, sister of the deceased, was elected on the seventh count.
