The 2024 Coventry City Council election was held predominately on 2 May 2024 alongside the other local elections across the United Kingdom being held on the same day,[1] with one ward's election additionally being held a month later on 20 June 2024. The results mirrored Labour's strong showing across the country, taking three seats from the Conservatives and increasing their comfortable majority on the council.

Originally the Labour-held seat in Radford ward was meant to be contested on the same day as the other wards, but was delayed to 20 June 2024[2] due to the death of the ward's Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition candidate a week before the election.[3][4] The incumbent Labour councillor Mal Mutton unoffically remained in the seat between 4 May and 20 June 2024 before being re-elected. This was counted by the council as part of the local election rather than as a by-election.
