The 24th congressional district of New York includes all of Cayuga, Onondaga, and Wayne counties, and the western part of Oswego County. Its largest city is Syracuse.

This district is currently represented by Republican John Katko. As of the 117th United States Congress, it is one of very few Democratic-leaning districts in the country to be represented by a Republican, and one of only nine districts that voted for Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election while being held or won by a Republican. Katko had also won re-election in 2016 while the district was carried by Democrat Hillary Clinton.
