The 2024 Belo Horizonte municipal election took place in the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil on 6 October 2024. Voters elected 41 councillors. A second round was held on October 27 as no candidate achieved 50% in the first round for mayor.

The incumbent mayor is Fuad Noman of the Social Democratic Party. Noman became mayor after the resignation of Alexandre Kalil to unsuccessfully run for governor of Minas Gerais in the 2022 Minas Gerais gubernatorial election.

State Deputy Bruno Engler of the Liberal Party, who achieved second place in 2020, and Noman advanced to a second round, defeating Mauro Tramonte of the Republicanos, the candidate of governor Romeu Zema.

Though Zema supported Engler in the second round, Noman was reelected in the second round, defeating Engler by a little less than 100,000 votes.
