The 2024 Elmbridge Borough Council election was held on 2 May 2024 to elect members of Elmbridge Borough Council in Surrey, England. This was on the same day as other local elections across England and police and crime commissioner elections. There were 16 out of 48 seats contested, being the usual third of the council.

The council was under no overall control prior to the election, being run by a coalition of the Liberal Democrats and some of the residents associations, led by Liberal Democrat councillor Bruce McDonald. The council remained under no overall control after the election. The Liberal Democrats made net gains of three seats but were still two seats short of a majority, and Bruce McDonald lost his seat.

The same coalition of the Liberal Democrats and most of the residents associations continued to run the council after the election. The Liberal Democrats chose Mike Rollings to be their new group leader after the election. He was formally appointed as leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 15 May 2024.
