The 2024 Nenggiri by-election was held on 17 August 2024 for the Kelantan State Legislative Assembly seat of Nenggiri. The by-election was called following the disqualification of the incumbent, Mohd Azizi Abu Naim, on 19 June 2024 due to his support for the Anwar Ibrahim government. Mohd Azizi had served as a Member of the Kelantan State Legislative Assembly for Nenggiri since 2023, and also as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Gua Musang.

In this by-election, Barisan Nasional's Mohd Azmawi Fikri Abdul Ghani defeated Perikatan Nasional's Mohd Rizwadi Ismail by a majority of 3,352 votes. This marked the first by-election since the 2022 Malaysian general election where a seat flipped to another party.
