The 2024 Gatineau mayoral by-election was held on June 9, 2024, to elect the 23rd mayor of Gatineau, Quebec, Canada, to serve the remainder of the 2021–2025 term following the resignation of mayor France Bélisle, who resigned effective immediately on February 22, 2024, citing a toxic political environment and death threats.[2][3]

Maude Marquis-Bissonnette of Action Gatineau won the election with 41.7 percent of the vote. She will be the first mayor of modern Gatineau to be elected in a by-election and the first since Guy Lacroix's by-election victory in 1994 following the resignation of Robert Labine.
