Neutral Paralympic Athletes was the name used to represent approved Russian and Belarusian athletes at the 2024 Summer Paralympics, after the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) banned the nations' previous designations due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Neutral athletes competed under a white flag featuring black lettering spelling out NPA. The flag's use was limited to TV and sports presentation graphics and during medal ceremonies. Medal wins were not recorded on the 2024 Summer Paralympic Games official medal table; further, if a neutral athlete wins a gold medal, the Paralympic anthem was played.^[1]
