A by-election was held in the federal riding of Elmwood—Transcona in Manitoba, Canada, on September 16, 2024, following the resignation of incumbent New Democratic MP Daniel Blaikie.

The race was considered to be a battle between the Conservatives and the NDP, which has long held the constituency.

The by-election was held on the same day as one in LaSalle—Émard—Verdun in Quebec.

With Liberal candidate Ian MacIntyre acquiring 4.83% of the vote, the election results marked the Liberal Party's worst election performance in Winnipeg, and is the first time in history that the Liberal Party received less than 5% of the vote in any Winnipeg riding.
