The 1994 Williamstown state by-election was held on 13 August 1994 to elect the next member for Williamstown in the Victorian Legislative Assembly, following the resignation of sitting MP and former premier Joan Kirner on 27 May 1994.
The seat was retained for the Labor Party by candidate Steve Bracks, who went on to become Premier of Victoria from 1999 until 2007. Australian Democrats candidate Lyn Allison was elected as a senator for Victoria in 1996 and became the party's leader in 2004.
