2024 Green Party leadership election (Ireland)

The 2024 Green Party leadership election is a leadership election within Ireland's Green Party that is expected to be held after leader Eamon Ryan announced his resignation. Ryan, who has led the party since 2011, announced his resignation on 18 June 2024, following the party's poor performance in both the 2024 European Parliament election and local elections, which resulted in the Green Party losing both of its MEPs and half of its local councillors. Ryan also announced his intention to resign from his post of Minister for the Environment in the coalition government of which his party is a partner, and said he would relinquish both roles once the Green Party had elected a new leader. Ryan's resignation made him the second party leader in Ireland's coalition government to announce their resignation during 2024 following that of former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, who stepped down as leader of Fine Gael.

Following Ryan's announcement, deputy leader Catherine Martin also confirmed she would step down from her post, but said she would contest her Dáil seat of Dublin Rathdown at the next general election. A number of her Green Party colleagues, including Malcolm Noonan, a junior minister in the coalition government, and Neasa Hourigan, TD for Dublin Central, ruled themselves out of running to replace Ryan, but junior minister Joe O'Brien, confirmed he was considering entering the leadership contest. The Irish Independent reported that members of the parliamentary party were seeking to back a leadership bid by Pippa Hackett, the Minister of State for Land Use and Biodiversity.
