The 1941 West Bromwich by-election was a parliamentary
Frederick Roberts, who had held the seat from 1918 to 1931 and again from the 1935 general election
; he died later in 1941.
The Labour candidate, John Dugdale, was returned unopposed. Most by-elections during World War II were unopposed, since the major parties had agreed not to contest by-elections when vacancies arose in seats held by the other parties; contests occurred only when independent candidates or minor parties chose to stand.
