The 2008 Cabramatta state by-election was held on 18 October 2008 to elect the member for Cabramatta in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly, following the resignation of Labor Party MP Reba Meagher. It took place alongside by-elections in Lakemba, Port Macquarie and Ryde.

The seat was retained by Labor at the by-election despite a swing against the party, which lost more than 18% of the primary vote and more than 21% of the two-party-preferred vote compared to the 2007 state election.
