The 1924 United States Senate election in Illinois took place on November 4, 1924.[1]

Incumbent Republican Medill McCormick was unseated in the Republican primary by Charles S. Deneen, who went on to win the general election.

The primaries and general election coincided with those for other federal elections (president and House) and those for state elections.[1] The primaries were held April 8, 1924.[1]

This was the first election for this U.S. Senate seat to be held after the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution granted women suffrage.
