The 1895 West Cavan by-election was a parliamentary by-election held for the United Kingdom House of Commons constituency of West Cavan on 22 August 1895.
[1] The sitting member, Edmund Vesey Knox of the Irish National Federation, who had sat for the constituency since a by-election in 1890, had been re-elected in the general election of 1895.
However, having been elected also for the constituency of Londonderry City, he chose to sit for that constituency instead.
[2] The West Cavan seat thus became vacant, and in the ensuing by-election, another Irish National Federation candidate, James Patrick Farrell, was elected unopposed.
