The 2024 New Hampshire gubernatorial election will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect the governor of New Hampshire, concurrently with the 2024 U.S. presidential election, as well as elections to the United States Senate, elections to the United States House of Representatives, and various state and local elections. Incumbent Republican governor Chris Sununu was eligible to seek re-election to a fifth term, but has announced that he will not do so, leaving the election an open race.[1]

Along with neighboring Vermont, this race is one of two Republican-held governorships up for election in 2024 in a state Joe Biden won in the 2020 presidential election. Primary elections took place on September 10, 2024.[2] With the state's slight Democratic lean and inclination to ticket split, this race is considered a tossup.
