The 2023 Aston by-election was held on 1 April 2023 to elect the next member of the Australian House of Representatives in the electorate of Aston in Victoria. The by-election was triggered by the resignation of Liberal MP Alan Tudge on 17 February 2023.

The ABC's Antony Green called Aston for Labor candidate Mary Doyle at 8:16pm AEDT. The result was considered a historic upset by the media, as Aston had been regarded as a safe seat for the Liberals, and had been held by the party since the 1990 federal election. It marked the first time in over 102 years that a government has won a seat from the opposition in a by-election.
