The 2024 United States House of Representatives election in South Dakota were held on November 5, 2024, to elect a member of the United States House of Representatives to represent the state of South Dakota from its at-large congressional district. The election coincided with the 2024 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the U.S. House, elections to the United States Senate, and various other state and local elections. The primary elections were held on June 4, 2024.
Incumbent Republican representative Dusty Johnson was re-elected with 77.4% of the vote in 2022 against Collin Duprel, a Libertarian Party candidate.
This congressional house race was the first in the state since 2018 to have a Democrat on the ballot, as 2020 and 2022 only had a Libertarian candidate opposing Dusty Johnson.
