The 2024 Papua gubernatorial election was held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the governor of Papua province for a five-year term. The previous election was held in 2018. It was the first gubernatorial election in Papua since the province's partition in 2022. Former Jayapura Mayor Benhur Tomi Mano of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) secured 50% of the vote. His sole opponent, Matius Fakhiri, received 49%. After the election, a dispute arose over the eligibility of PDI-P vice gubernatorial nominee Yermias Bisai. As a result, the Constitution Court annulled the election on 24 February 2025 and ordered a repeat election.
