Two special elections (known as "by-elections" elsewhere) to the House of Representatives of the Philippines, the lower house of Congress, were held on August 30, 1993. These were vacancies in the 9th Congress; the winners were to serve the rest of the term, which had ended on June 30, 1995.

These were the first special elections since the preceding ones in 1967, the downfall of Ferdinand Marcos in 1986, and the approval of the 1987 constitution. The disputed seats were for Agusan del Norte's 2nd congressional district, and for Capiz's 1st congressional district. Both winners, Edelmiro Amante and Mar Roxas, ran unopposed.

This was also the last special elections were more than one seat was disputed on election day.
