The 2024 United States Senate election in Vermont was held on November 5, 2024, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Vermont. Primary elections took place on August 13, 2024.[1] Incumbent three-term Senator Bernie Sanders, an Independent who caucuses with the Democratic Party, was re-elected with 67% of the vote in 2018.

Sanders filed paperwork to run for re-election in 2019. On January 8, 2024, he stated he would decide whether or not to seek re-election in the "near future."[2] On May 6, Sanders formally announced that he will run for re-election.[3] He faced Republican businessman and 2022 Senate nominee Gerald Malloy.

While Sanders easily won re-election, this was the worst performance of his four Senate campaigns, and his 63.3% vote share was the lowest since his 1998 re-election to the U.S. House. In addition, this was the first election of Sanders' career in which his Republican opponent received more than 100,000 votes, the first since his 1994 re-election to the U.S. House he did not carry every county, and the first of his congressional career where he underperformed the Democratic presidential nominee, as Kamala Harris received 64.3% of the vote in the concurrent presidential election.

No Democrat has ever won this Class 1 Senate seat, though Sanders has caucused with Democrats since taking office in 2007.
