The Oldham by-election of 1899 occurred in the summer of that year, and involved a by-election to fill both seats in the two-member Oldham Parliamentary borough. The election resulted in the Liberal Party winning both seats from the Conservatives who had previously held them; however the election is principally notable for being the first to be fought by future Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
