The 2024 Volgograd Oblast Duma election took place on 6–8 September 2024, on common election day, coinciding with 2024 Volgograd Oblast gubernatorial election. All 38 seats in the Oblast Duma were up for reelection.

United Russia retained its overwhelming majority in the Oblast Duma, winning 52% of the vote. The election produced relatively small changes with New People entering the Duma being the most significant.

Under current election laws, the Oblast Duma is elected for a term of five years, with parallel voting. 19 seats are elected by party-list proportional representation with a 5% electoral threshold, with the other half elected in 19 single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting. Seats in the proportional part are allocated using the Imperiali quota, modified to ensure that every party list, which passes the threshold, receives at least one mandate.[1]
