The 1915 South Carolina 4th congressional district special election was held on September 14, 1915 to select a Representative for the 4th congressional district to serve out the remainder of the term for the 64th Congress. The special election resulted from the resignation of Representative Joseph T. Johnson on April 19, 1915. Samuel J. Nicholls, a former state Representative from Spartanburg, won the Democratic primary and was unopposed in the general election.

Democratic primary

The South Carolina Democratic Party held their primary in the summer of 1915. Six candidates entered the race and among those who sought the seat was future Governor of South Carolina, Ibra Charles Blackwood. Samuel J. Nicholls emerged atop the first primary election on August 10 and won the runoff election against B.A. Morgan on August 24. There was no opposition to the Democratic candidate in the general election so Nicholls was elected to serve out the remainder of the term.
