2024 St Patrick's Athletic F.C. season

The 2024 season was St Patrick's Athletic F.C.'s 95th year in existence and was the Supersaint's 73rd consecutive season in the top-flight of Irish football. It was the first full season in charge for manager Jon Daly, having taken over from Tim Clancy in May 2023. Pre-season training for the squad began in December 2023. The fixtures were released on 15 December 2023, with Pat's down to play away to newly promoted Galway United on the opening night of the season.

A week before the first game of the season, they were comprehensively beaten 3–1 away to Shamrock Rovers in the President of Ireland's Cup. Following a bad start to the campaign, Daly was sacked on 7 May, with the Republic of Ireland national team's most recent manager Stephen Kenny appointed on 16 May. Having won the FAI Cup in 2023, the club were defending their title in 2024, but were defeated at the first hurdle away to eventual runners-up Derry City. Their UEFA Conference League campaign was more successful however, as they were narrowly defeated in the Play-Off Round by İstanbul Başakşehir, having beaten Vaduz and Sabah in previous rounds. On 8 October, the club won its tenth Leinster Senior Cup, after beating St Mochta's in the final. With the side in 8th place at the start of September, Kenny guided them to a club record equalling 9 consecutive league victories, beating every club in the league to finish the season in 3rd place, securing a UEFA Conference League spot for the following season.
