The 1959 Missouri's 4th congressional district special election was held on March 3, 1959, and was won by Jackson County Judge William J. Randall, the Democratic nominee.

On January 23, 1959, Democratic Congressman George H. Christopher died, causing a vacancy. On February 2, Governor James Blair issued a proclamation for the special election, which he deliberately scheduled with the Kansas City municipal election primary. The parties' nominees were picked by the local congressional party committees.
