Four special elections (known elsewhere as "by-elections") to the National Assembly of the Philippines, the legislature of the Commonwealth of the Philippines, were done on September 1, 1936. These were to fill up vacancies from four seats.

Electoral system

The seats in the National Assembly were elected from single member districts, under the first-past-the-post voting system.

The following seats were up for election:
