An election to decide the first directly elected Mayor of Limerick was held on 7 June 2024, as part of the 2024 Irish local elections. Limerick is the first local authority in Ireland to have directly elected mayor, following a plebiscite held at the previous council election. The election was held under the Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2024.[1] Candidates were nominated by a registered political party or with the support of 60 electors.

There were fifteen declared candidates in the contest for mayor, ten from political parties, and five independent candidates.

On 11 June 2024, John Moran was elected as mayor.
