The 2024 United States Senate election in Wyoming was held on November 5, 2024, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Wyoming. Incumbent Senator John Barrasso was appointed to the Senate in 2007 after Craig Thomas died. Barrasso won a 2008 special election to complete Thomas' term and won full terms in 2012 and 2018. He was seeking a third full term, and has declared his intent to run for Assistant Republican Leader at the end of the year. Primary elections took place on August 20, 2024. Barrasso won renomination and defeated Democrat Scott Morrow in the general election. Wyoming has been represented in the U.S. Senate exclusively by Republicans since 1977 and Barasso was heavily favored to win another term.[1]

Barrasso was easily re-elected with over 75% of the vote, carrying every county except Teton, and flipping Albany. Barrasso overperformed president Donald Trump in the concurrent Presidential election by 4.51%. This was the largest margin of victory in any U.S. Senate election since North Dakota in 2016.
