A Dáil by-election was held in the constituency of Galway West in Ireland on Tuesday, 4 March 1975, to fill a vacancy in the 20th Dáil. It followed the death of Fianna Fáil Teachta Dála (TD) Johnny Geoghegan on 5 January 1975.
The writ of election was moved by Fianna Fáil TD Patrick Lalor on 11 February 1975 and was agreed by the Dáil.
The by-election was won by the Fianna Fáil candidate Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, daughter of the deceased TD, Johnny Geoghegan.
It was held on the same day as the 1975 Galway North-East by-election. Both by-elections were won by Fianna Fáil candidates.
