The 2024 Styrian state election was held on 24 November 2024 to elect the members of the Landtag of Styria.

The election resulted in heavy losses for the governing ÖVP and moderate losses for its coalition partner, the SPÖ. Together, they lost their majority in the state parliament (Landtag). Both parties also received their worst ever election results in the state of Styria.

The opposition FPÖ received its best result ever, doubling its vote share from the previous election and winning a state election for the first time in the state of Styria. It was also the first time ever that the FPÖ won a state election other than in Carinthia.

The Green Party had strong losses and was cut in half, while the KPÖ also saw their vote share decline. NEOS slightly improved its result compared to the previous election and received its best result ever in Styria.
