1994 Cork North-Central by-election

A Dáil by-election was held in the constituency of Cork North-Central in Ireland on Thursday, 10 November 1994, to fill a vacancy in the 27th Dáil. It followed the death of Labour Party Teachta Dála (TD) Gerry O'Sullivan on 5 August 1994.

The writ of election to fill the vacancy was agreed by the Dáil on 18 October 1994.

The by-election was won by the Democratic Left candidate Kathleen Lynch, a member of Cork City Council. It was the second and final time Democratic Left would ever win a by-election.

Among the candidates were Senator Billy Kelleher, who would later serve as a TD, Colm Burke who would also go on to serve TD, Cork County Councillor Michael Burns, and Cork City Councillors Jimmy Homan and Con O'Leary.

On the same day, a by-election took place in Cork South-Central.
