The 1924 Victorian state election was held in the Australian state of Victoria on Thursday 26 June 1924 to elect the 65 members of the state's Legislative Assembly.^[1]

There had been four by-elections in Nationalist-held seats during the previous parliamentary term: Labor had won the seats of Daylesford on 9 August 1923 and Dalhousie on 31 January 1924. The Nationalists retained the seat of Gippsland South on 18 August 1922, but lost Gippsland West to the Country Party.

Notes:

• Twenty seats were uncontested at this election, and were retained by the incumbent parties:
  • Labor (12): Abbotsford, Brunswick, Carlton, Collingwood, Fitzroy, Flemington, North Melbourne, Port Fairy, Port Melbourne, Richmond, Warrenheip, Williamstown
  • Nationalist (5): Allandale, Gippsland South, Kara Kara, St Kilda, Waranga
  • Country (3): Gippsland East, Goulburn Valley, Wangaratta

The Peacock minority government was defeated; a minority Labor Government led by George Prendergast took office but was defeated in Parliament in November 1924 by the Allan Coalition Government.
