A Dáil by-election was held in the constituency of Wexford in Ireland on Tuesday, 4 December 1945, to fill a vacancy in the 12th Dáil. It followed the death of Labour TD Richard Corish on 19 July 1945.
In 1945, Wexford was a five seat constituency comprising County Wexford and several electoral divisions in County Carlow.
The writ of election to fill the vacancy was agreed by the Dáil on 14 November 1945.
The by-election was won by the Labour candidate Brendan Corish, son of the deceased TD, Richard Corish.
Four other by-elections were held on the same day: in Clare, Dublin North-West, Kerry South and Mayo South. Three by-elections were won by Fianna Fáil, one by Clann na Talmhan, and one by Labour.
