The 2024 North Dakota Senate election will take place on November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections.[1] Senators serve four-year terms. Elections are staggered such that half the senate districts have elections every two years (even-numbered seats are up on presidential election years.)

In the 2022 North Dakota elections, a ballot measure created term limits of eight years in the North Dakota Senate, which was put into effect starting January 2023.[2] However, no candidate up for election will be affected by the term limits.[3]
