The 2024 European Parliament elections in Hungary were held on 9 June 2024 as part of the 2024 European Parliament election. This was the first European election to take place after Brexit and on the same day as local elections.

This was the first nationwide election contested by the Tisza Party under Péter Magyar, who became the most popular opposition figure to then-Prime Minister Viktor Orbán since the Novák scandal broke in February 2024. Though the Fidesz–KDNP alliance of then Prime Minister Viktor Orbán won the election, Tisza won the largest share of any non-Fidesz party in a nationwide election since 2010, while Fidesz won its lowest share in a European election since Hungary joined the European Union.

As of , this is the most recent nationwide election won by Fidesz–KDNP, which would lose the 2026 Hungarian parliamentary election to the Tisza Party.

Background The European Parliament considers Hungary a "hybrid regime of electoral autocracy" since 2022.

Electoral system Hungary uses closed lists and the D'Hondt method to elect seats to the European Parliament, with a 5% threshold.
