The 2024 North Maluku gubernatorial election was held on 27 November 2024 as part of nationwide local elections to elect the governor and vice governor of North Maluku for a five-year term. The previous election was held in 2018. Gubernatorial candidate Benny Laos, a former regent of Morotai Island, died in a speedboat explosion before the election.
