The 2021 North Shropshire by-election was held on 16 December 2021 to elect a new MP for North Shropshire, triggered by the resignation of the Conservative Member of Parliament (MP), Owen Paterson on 5 November 2021. The by-election was won by Helen Morgan, with a 34% swing from the Conservatives to the Liberal Democrats.
It was the party's second gain from the Conservatives since the 2019 general election following their victory at Chesham and Amersham in June 2021. The party gained a third seat from the Conservatives at Tiverton and Honiton, in June 2022.
