The 2024 Anchorage mayoral election was held on April 2, 2024, with a runoff election on May 14 because no candidate received more than 45% of the vote in the first round. It elected the mayor of Anchorage, Alaska. Incumbent Republican mayor Dave Bronson ran for re-election to a second term in office.

Bronson and former Anchorage Assembly chair Suzanne LaFrance advanced to the runoff, with LaFrance narrowly placing ahead of Bronson. Bronson's general election vote total was the lowest for an incumbent Anchorage mayor since 2009. Candidates eliminated in the general election include nonprofit executive Bill Popp and former Alaska House Majority Leader Chris Tuck. Popp endorsed LaFrance in the runoff, while Tuck remained neutral.

LaFrance prevailed in the runoff, becoming the first woman elected mayor of Anchorage.[1] Bronson is only the second mayor of Anchorage to lose re-election since it became a borough in 1975.
