The 2024 Haryana Legislative Assembly elections were held in Haryana on 5 October 2024 to elect all 90 members of the Haryana Legislative Assembly.

The tenure of the 14th Haryana Assembly was slated to end on 3 November 2024. In the previous Assembly elections held in October 2019, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged as the single largest party and formed a coalition government with Jannayak Janta Party. Before the elections, Nayab Singh Saini of the BJP was the incumbent Chief Minister.

The schedule of the election was announced by the Election Commission of India on 16 August 2024. The ballots were counted and the results were declared on 8 October 2024. A majority of the exit polls predicted a victory for the Indian National Congress-led alliance. However, contrary to the predictions, the BJP again emerged as the single largest party, winning 48 seats, enough for a majority, although the popular vote totals between the two were close, differing by less than one percentage point.
