A special election (known elsewhere as "by-elections") for Zambales's 2nd congressional district seat in the House of Representatives of the Philippines was held on February 4, 2012. The special election was called after incumbent representative Antonio Diaz died on August 3, 2011. Jun Omar Ebdane, son of governor Hermogenes Ebdane, won in the special election, beating Cheryl Deloso-Montalla, Diaz's opponent in the 2010 general election, Rica Victoria Diaz-Arambulo, Diaz's daughter, and two other independent candidates.

This was the closest special election in the 21st century in the Philippines.
