A by-election was held for the Australian House of Representatives seat of Batman in Victoria (Australia) on 1 September 1962. It was triggered by the death of Labor MP Alan Bird.
The by-election was won by Labor candidate Sam Benson. The governing Liberal Party did not nominate a candidate, leaving the candidate of the so-called Liberal Forum, an ally of Douglas Darby, an Independent New South Wales state parliamentarian, to take second place.
