The 2024 Summer Olympics, branded as Paris 2024, is a forthcoming international multi-sport event. It is scheduled to take place from 26 July (the date of the opening ceremony) to 11 August 2024 in France, with some competitions starting on 24 July. Paris will serve as the main host city, with events also being held in 16 other cities across Metropolitan France and one sub-site in Tahiti, an island within the French overseas territory of French Polynesia.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) awarded Paris the Games during its 131st session in Lima, Peru, on 13 September 2017. After several withdrawals left only Paris and Los Angeles in contention, the IOC approved a process to award the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics simultaneously to the two remaining cities, recognizing both for their high technical standards and innovative use of existing and temporary facilities. Paris, having previously hosted the Olympics in 1900 and 1924, will become the second city to host the Summer Olympics three times, following London, which hosted the Games in 1908, 1948, and 2012. The 2024 Games will mark the centenary of the 1924 Paris and Chamonix Games (the latter marking the centenary of the Winter Olympics) and will be the sixth Olympic Games hosted by France (three Summer and three Winter). It will also be the first French Olympics since the 1992 Winter Games in Albertville. The Summer Games will return to the traditional four-year cycle after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics were postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Paris 2024 will introduce breakdancing as an Olympic event and may be the final Games under the presidency of Thomas Bach. The event is expected to cost €9 billion. The United States aims to win the Summer Olympic Medal Count for the fourth consecutive time, the seventh time in the last eight Olympics, and the nineteenth time overall.
