The Columbia 24 is a series of American sailboats that were designed by Joseph McGlasson and first built in 1962.

The Columbia 24 is a development of the Islander 24, which in turn was derived from the wooden Catalina Islander.

The Columbia 24 design was developed into the Watkins 25 in 1983, as well as many other designs.
