The 1824 Massachusetts gubernatorial election was held on April 5.

Republican Governor William Eustis was re-elected to a second term in office over U.S. Representative Samuel Lathrop, a Federalist ally of John Quincy Adams. This was the last election in which the dying Federalist Party, which had already collapsed at the national level, was competitive.
