A by-election was held in the Dáil Éireann Cork North-Central constituency in Ireland on 10 November 1994. It followed the death of Labour Party Teachta Dála (TD) Gerry O'Sullivan on 5 August 1994.
The election was won by Cork City Councillor Kathleen Lynch. It was the second and final time Democratic Left would ever win a by-election.
Among the candidates were Senator Billy Kelleher, who would later serve as a TD, Minister of State and MEP, Colm Burke who would also go on to serve as Senator, TD and MEP, Cork County Councillor Michael Burns and Cork City Councillors Jimmy Homan and Con O'Leary.
On the same day, a by-election took place in Cork South-Central.
