The 2017 Ipswich mayoral by-election was held on 19 August 2017 to elect the mayor of Ipswich, a local government area in Queensland, Australia.

The by-election was triggered by the resignation of mayor Paul Pisasale on 6 June 2017, who cited a decline in his health due to multiple sclerosis, a day after his office was searched by the Queensland Crime and Corruption Commission and police. [1]

Andrew Antoniolli was elected mayor with 54.44% of the vote after preferences. [2]
