The 2024 Melbourne City Council election was held in October 2024 to elect nine councillors and a leadership team (consisting of a lord mayor and deputy lord mayor) to the City of Melbourne. The election was held as part of the statewide local government elections in Victoria, Australia.[1]

Incumbent lord mayor Nicholas Reece, who succeeded Sally Capp after her resignation in July 2024, was re-elected with 61.5% of the two-candidate-preferred vote. Arron Wood, who was seen as a frontrunner going into the election, conceded defeat on 29 October.[2]
