The 24th Rifle Corps was a corps of the Red Army. It was part of the 27th Army and took part in the Great Patriotic War. It appears to have been initially formed in the Kalinin Military District, around what is today Tver, in 1939 during the Soviet invasion of Poland. In 1940 it was relocated to Soviet-occupied Latvia with units of the dissolved Latvian Army added to the corps.
