The 1869 Oamaru by-election was a by-election on 25 May 1869 in the Oamaru electorate during the 4th New Zealand Parliament.

The by-election was caused by the resignation of the incumbent MP Robert Campbell.

He was replaced by Charles Christie Graham. As there were no other nominations, he was duly declared elected.[1] He acknowledged that he was not a local man.[2]
