The Otahuhu by-election 1963 was a by-election held in the Otahuhu electorate in Auckland during the term of the 33rd New Zealand Parliament, on 16 March 1963.

The by-election was caused by the death of incumbent MP James Deas of the Labour Party on 27 January 1963. The by-election was won by Bob Tizard, also of the Labour Party. As the electorate was to be abolished and replaced by the Pakuranga electorate at the 1963 election election, Tizard represented it from 16 March to 29 October only.
