A [[by-election]] was held for the [[Australian House of Representatives]] seat of [[Division of Wide Bay|Wide Bay]] on 11 December 1915. This was triggered by the resignation of former [[Australian Labor Party|Labor Party]] [[Prime Minister of Australia|Prime Minister]] and MP [[Andrew Fisher]].

The by-election was won by [[Commonwealth Liberal Party]] candidate [[Edward Corser]] by 43 votes, after the party previously did not contest the seat at the [[1914 Australian federal election|1914 federal election]] — instead, the seat was contested by [[Independent (politics)|independent]] candidate John Austin, on 35.7 percent of the vote. Labor lost 14.5 percent of its vote from just over a year earlier.  Voting was not compulsory in 1915.
