The 2024 Queensland local elections were held on 16 March 2024 to elect the mayors and councils of the 77 local government areas in Queensland, Australia.

The original scheduled elections date of 30 March 2024 was moved ahead to 16 March to avoid clashing with Easter holidays.

The elections were held on the same day as the state by-elections in Inala and Ipswich West.

There was a surprisingly large number of candidates elected unopposed in many council elections across Queensland, including some mayoral races. The lack of opposition to these candidates was criticised by experts as being bad for democracy.
