The Dulwich by-election, 1932 was a by-election held on 8 June 1932 for the British House of Commons constituency of Dulwich in South London.
The by-election was triggered by the death of the serving Conservative Party Member of Parliament (MP), Sir Frederick Hall.
The former Conservative member had a large majority and the seat was considered a safe seat for the party. The result of the last election was;
| Party | Candidate | Votes | % | ±% | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Conservative | Frederick Hall | 21,752 | 71.5 | ||
| Labour | F. Hughes | 4,747 | 15.6 | ||
| Liberal | C. R. Cooke-Taylor | 3,924 | 12.9 | ||
| Majority | 17,005 | 55.9 | |||
| Turnout | 30,423 | ||||
| Conservative hold | Swing | ||||
The major issues were the stringent financial policies of the National Government, and for the Liberal candidate, opposition to protectionism.
The result was much as expected, with turnout around two-thirds of what it had been in the previous year's general election. The Conservative candidate's majority was slashed in half, but the Liberal candidate slightly increased his vote, pushing Labour into third place.
| Party | Candidate | Votes | % | ±% | |
