The 1989 Pontypridd by-election was a by-election held in Wales on 23 February 1989 for the UK House of Commons constituency of Pontypridd in Mid Glamorgan.
The by-election was caused by the death of the constituency's Labour Party Member of Parliament (MP) Brynmor John on 13 December 1988.
The result was a Labour Party hold, with Dr Kim Howells winning a majority of almost 11,000 votes.
Whilst out canvassing for the Conservative party, neighbouring MP Sir Raymond Gower died, which resulted in the Vale of Glamorgan by-election.
