A by-election was held in the Sagaga-le-Usoga constituency in Samoa on 17 April 2015.

It followed the resignation of MP Muagututagata Peter Ah Him (of the governing Human Rights Protection Party, HRPP), who stepped down prior to being convicted for fraud. With the Opposition Tautua Samoa Party not standing a candidate, the HRPP fielded a choice of four candidates, and was certain to retain the seat.[1][2]
