An indirect presidential election was held in Vietnam on 21 October 2024. The election took place just five months after the May 2024 election of President Tô Lâm who has since been appointed as the general secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, following the death of his predecessor, Nguyễn Phú Trọng, in July 2024.

Army General Lương Cường was elected as Vietnam's 14th president by the National Assembly of Vietnam, with all 440 delegates present voting in favor.
