The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024 was the 22nd edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, held on 16 November 2024 at the Caja Mágica in Madrid, Spain, and presented by Ruth Lorenzo, Marc Clotet, and Melani García. It was organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE). It was the first time that the contest was held in the country. The contest was also the first since 2015 to be held on a Saturday.
Broadcasters from seventeen countries participated in the contest, with Cyprus and San Marino returning after six- and eight-year absences respectively, while the United Kingdom opted not to participate after doing so the previous year.
The winner was Georgia with the song "To My Mom" by Andria Putkaradze, its fourth win and first since 2016. Portugal won the public vote and finished in second place, its best placing to date. Ukraine finished in third place, its best placing since 2013. France finished in fourth place, the first time it placed outside of the top three in four years. Malta finished in fifth place, its best placing since 2018. San Marino finished last on its return.
