A by-election for the seat of Arafura in the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly was held on 7 November 1992. The by-election was triggered by the death of Labor (ALP) member Stan Tipiloura, who had held the seat since 1987.
The ALP selected Maurice Rioli, a former professional Australian Rules player, as its candidate. The CLP candidate was Bernard Tipiloura, with an independent candidacy of Colin Newton.
