A municipal by-election was held in Vancouver, British Columbia, on October 14, 2017. One empty seat on city council and all the seats on the Vancouver school board were filled.

These elections were held outside the normal four-year schedule. Unlike in full elections, voters were only asked to elect one councillor and nine school board trustees rather than the full complement of elected municipal positions. The by-election was necessary for two reasons: the resignation of Vision Vancouver councillor Geoff Meggs from city council to become British Columbia premier John Horgan's chief of staff and the desire of the new provincial NDP government to reconstitute the Vancouver School Board, whose elected members had all been fired by the previous BC Liberal government.

The school board election marked the first time a OneCity candidate was elected to any position in Vancouver's elected government.
