The 1924 United States Senate election in South Dakota took place on November 4, 1924. Incumbent Senator Thomas Sterling ran for re-election to a third term, but he was defeated in the Republican primary by Governor William H. McMaster.

McMaster defeated his opponents by a wide margin, but fell far short of a majority, winning only 44% of the vote.
