The 1915 Armidale state by-election was scheduled to be held on 18 September 1915 to elect the member for Armidale in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly, following the death of Liberal Reform MP George Braund, who was killed in action at Gallipoli.
Liberal Reform leader Charles Wade proposed endorsing George Beeby as a joint Liberal Reform and Farmers and Settlers Association candidate. However, this was opposed by local party delegates, and Armidale mayor Herbert Lane was endorsed instead.
Lane was the only candidate for the by-election, and was declared elected at the close of nominations on 2 December 1911.
