The 1946 Combined English Universities by-election was a parliamentary by-election held on 18 March 1946 for the British House of Commons constituency of Combined English Universities.
It was the penultimate election in a university constituency to the British Parliament and the final one to occur in England, with all university constituencies abolished in 1950.
The winning candidate vote share of 30 per cent holds the record for being the lowest in a UK by-election.
The seat had become vacant when the constituency's independent Member of Parliament (MP), Eleanor Rathbone, died.
