The 2024 Pennsylvania Attorney General election will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect the Attorney General of the U.S. state of Pennsylvania.

Attorney General Josh Shapiro, who was re-elected in 2020, would have been ineligible to seek a third term in 2024 due to term limits. He instead ran successfully for governor of Pennsylvania in 2022.

In accordance with Article IV, Section 8, of the Pennsylvania Constitution, upon taking office as governor, Shapiro was permitted to nominate his successor as attorney general, who will serve the remaining two years of the term after being confirmed by the Pennsylvania Senate. By tradition, an appointed attorney general agrees not to run for the post in the next election. In the interim between Shapiro's resignation to become governor and the appointee's installation, first deputy attorney general Michelle Henry, a Democrat, served as acting attorney general.
