An election for the leadership of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) was held on 14 September 2024 at an extraordinary meeting of the Ulster Unionist Council following the resignation of incumbent leader Doug Beattie on 19 August 2024. Beattie resigned following internal tensions surrounding the selection of Colin Crawford as the party's new North Antrim Assembly member.

Former leader and current Health Minister Mike Nesbitt ran unopposed. He became the party's fifth leader in seven years.
