The 1924 Victorian state election was held in the Australian state of Victoria on Thursday 26 June 1924 to elect 45 of the 65 members of the state's Legislative Assembly.

There had been four by-elections in Nationalist-held seats during the previous parliamentary term: Labor had won the seats of Daylesford on 9 August 1923 and Dalhousie on 31 January 1924. The Nationalists retained the seat of Gippsland South on 18 August 1922, but lost Gippsland West to the Country Party.
