A Dáil by-election was held in the constituency of Cork East in Ireland on Thursday, 18 June 1953, to fill a vacancy in the 14th Dáil. It followed the death of Labour Teachta Dála (TD) Seán Keane on 29 March 1953. The writ of election to fill the vacancy was agreed by the Dáil on 27 May 1953.
The by-election was won by the Fine Gael candidate Richard Barry.
It was held on the same day as the 1953 Wicklow by-election. Both by-elections were won by Fine Gael candidates. The runner-up John Moher of Fianna Fáil, was elected for Cork East at the 1954 general election.
