Local elections were held in Bursa, a metropolitan province of Turkey, on 31 March 2024 alongside nationwide local elections. Elections were held for the metropolitan municipal mayor of Bursa, as well as district mayors and councillors of Bursa's 17 districts.

The governing People's Alliance, formed by the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) and the smaller Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), nominated incumbent Mayor Alinur Aktaş for re-election. The opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) nominated Mustafa Bozbey, who had also been their candidate for the 2019 local elections but had narrowly lost to Aktaş.

The result was a victory for Bozbey, who won 47.6% of the vote compared to Aktaş's 38.4%.^[1] The CHP also doubled their number of district municipalities from three to six, while the AK Party lost three municipalities. This was the first time the AK Party lost control of Bursa since their first ever local elections in 2004.
