1933 Christchurch mayoral election

The 1933 local elections in New Zealand included the Christchurch mayoral race, along with 16 councillors and other local positions. Sitting mayor Dan Sullivan, a Labour candidate, sought a second term. The Citizens' Association did not field a candidate. The sole challenger was independent Lancelot Walker, who supported grand schemes; Sullivan was viewed as more conservative in comparison.

Turnout was 29,249 voters. Sullivan received 18,345 votes (62.72%), and Walker received 10,389 votes (35.51%). Dan Sullivan was the mayor before the election and remained in office afterward.
