The 1871 City of Auckland West by-election was a by-election held on 1 September 1871 in the City of Auckland West electorate during the 5th New Zealand Parliament. It was then a two-member electorate.
The by-election was caused by the resignation of the incumbent, John Williamson. His earlier election had been declared invalid, as he held the position of Commissioner of Crown Lands.[1]
