The 1958 Glasgow Kelvingrove by-election of 13 March 1958 was held after the death of Conservative MP Walter Elliot.
The seat was marginal, having been won by the Conservatives at the 1955 United Kingdom general election by just short of 3,000 votes.
A former cabinet minister, Walter Elliot had first been elected for the seat in 1924, having previously been MP for Lanark.
He had lost the seat in the Labour landslide of 1945, but after sitting as an MP for the Scottish Universities, had fought it again in 1950 and regained it.
