The 1881 Southern Maori by-election was a by-election held on 1 March 1881 in the Southern Maori electorate during the 7th New Zealand Parliament.
The by-election was caused by the resignation of the incumbent MP Ihaia Tainui.
The by-election was won by Hōri Kerei Taiaroa; he had been disqualified from the Legislative Council and Tainui had resigned so that he could return to the Lower House.
There was no vote as Taiaroa was unopposed.https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/WCT18810303.2.8.12 Taiaroa Elected West Coast Times 3 March 1881 https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/THD18810304.2.6 Taiaroa Elected Timaru Herald 4 March 1881
