The 1914 Birmingham West by-election was held on 14 July 1914. The by-election was held due to the death of the incumbent Conservative MP, Joseph Chamberlain. It was won by his son the Conservative candidate Austen Chamberlain,[1] who was elected unopposed. Austen had resigned as MP for East Worcestershire in order to stand in Birmingham West, prompting a by-election in that constituency as well, which was held two days later.
