The 2024 United States Senate election in California took place on November 5, 2024, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent California, concurrently with other elections to the United States Senate, elections to the United States House of Representatives, and various state and local elections.

Under California's nonpartisan blanket primary law, all candidates appear on the same ballot, regardless of party. In the primary, voters may vote for any candidate, regardless of their party affiliation. In the California system, the top two finishers—regardless of party—advance to the general election in November, even if a candidate receives a majority of the vote in the primary election. Washington and Louisiana have similar "jungle primary" style processes for senators.

Incumbent Dianne Feinstein decided to not run for her 5th term. She would be 98 if she ran and finished her term again. On the June 11th Primary, actress Jennifer Aniston and House member Lou Correa finished first and second respectively, both from the Democratic Party. Aniston ran a liberal campaign, while Correa, a blue dog Democrat, ran a moderate campaign. Like 2018, there were no Republicans on the ballot.

In the general election, Aniston cruised to a victory, winning 65.41% of the vote. The turnout was 59.91%.
