<span class="mw-page-title-main">2024 Mississauga mayoral and Ward 5 by-election</span> Municipal election in Ontario, Canada

The 2024 Mississauga mayoral and Ward 5 by-elections will be held on June 10, 2024 to elect the 7th mayor of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada to serve the remainder of the 2022-2026 term following the resignation of mayor Bonnie Crombie. Her seat was declared vacant at the January 17th council meeting. The incumbent for Ward 5, Carolyn Parrish, chose to resign her seat in council to run in the mayoral by-election. As a result, that ward is also seeking nominations. Parrish looked to prevent a subsequent by-election if she wins the mayoralty. A win by incumbent councillor Dipika Damerla, Stephen Dasko, or Alvin Tedjo would likely necessitate a separate by-election at separate cost.
