The 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Qatar Airways Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2024) was a Formula One motor race held on 15 September 2024 at the Baku City Circuit in Baku, Azerbaijan. It was the seventeenth round of the 2024 Formula One World Championship.

Charles Leclerc of Ferrari took pole position for the event for the fourth year in a row, but lost out to Oscar Piastri of McLaren for the win and finished second, as Piastri took his second win in Formula One. George Russell inherited the final podium slot after Leclerc's teammate Carlos Sainz Jr. and Red Bull Racing's Sergio Pérez both crashed out on the penultimate lap while fighting for third and took themselves out of the race. Lando Norris recovered from a fifteenth-place start to finish fourth and take the fastest lap, one position over championship rival Max Verstappen.

This resulted in McLaren taking the lead in the Constructors' Championship ahead of Red Bull Racing, the first time they had led the Constructors' Championship since the 2014 Australian Grand Prix. Franco Colapinto of Williams became the first Argentine driver to score a point since Carlos Reutemann at the 1982 South African Grand Prix.
