A by-election for the seat of Enfield in the South Australian House of Assembly was held on 9 February 2019.[1] The by-election was triggered by the parliamentary resignation of Labor Party MP and former Deputy Premier John Rau on 17 December 2018.[2] Labor candidate Andrea Michaels retained the seat with an increased margin.[3]

A Cheltenham by-election was held on the same day, as Rau's former leader and Premier, Jay Weatherill, had also resigned from parliament.[4]
