The 2024 FIS Ski Flying World Championships was the 28th Ski Flying World Championships, which took place from 25 to 28 January 2024 in Bad Mitterndorf, Austria. It was the sixth competition of its rank, held at this location (previously in 1975, 1986, 1996, 2006 and 2016).[1]

The decision to choose Bad Mitterndorf as the host of the Championships was announced on 1 April 2021.[2] Originally, the event was to be held in Harrachov, but was moved due to technical and financial problems related to the Čerťák facility.[3]

The defending champion was Marius Lindvik from Norway and the Slovenian national team. Lindvik finished 13th, while Slovenia successfully defended the title.
