The 1861 Wanganui by-election was a by-election held on 5 July 1861 in the Wanganui electorate during the 3rd New Zealand Parliament.

He was declared elected unopposed, as he was the only candidate nominated. He was not a supporter of the Fox Party so could mean the lack of support rather than a majority of one for William Fox. https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/HBT18610725.2.19.5 Untitled Hawke's Bay Times 25 July 1861 https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/WI18610716.2.14 Wanganui Wellington Independent 16 July 1861
