A by-election to elect the next member of the Australian House of Representatives in the electorate of Dunkley was held on 2 March 2024, following the death of sitting member Peta Murphy in December 2023. Jodie Belyea retained the seat for the Labor Party, winning 52.7% of the two-party preferred vote.

It was the third federal by-election to have taken place since the first sitting of the 47th Parliament, as well as being the first federal by-election in a Labor seat since 2020 and the first federal by-election triggered by a member's death since 2015. Conroy is contesting the Dunkley seat again in 2025 for the federal election.
