A Dáil by-election was held in the constituency of Kildare in Ireland on Tuesday, 14 April 1970, to fill a vacancy in the 19th Dáil. It followed the death of Fine Gael Teachta Dála (TD) Gerard Sweetman on 28 January 1970.
The writ of election to fill the vacancy was agreed by the Dáil on 18 March 1970.
The by-election was won by the Fine Gael candidate Patrick Malone. It was held on the same day as the 1970 Longford–Westmeath by-election. Both by-elections were won by Fine Gael candidates.
