The 1919 South Carolina 6th congressional district special election was held on October 7, 1919 to select a Representative for the 6th congressional district to serve out the remainder of the term for the 66th Congress. The special election resulted from the death of Representative J. Willard Ragsdale on July 23, 1919. Philip H. Stoll, a former solicitor and World War I veteran, 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 1919 and six candidates entered the race. E.J. Sherwood emerged atop the first primary election on August 26, but was defeated in the runoff election by Philip H. Stoll on September 9. There was no opposition to the Democratic candidate in the general election so Stoll was elected to serve out the remainder of the term.
