Fencing

Nineteen fencers, all men, represented Belgium in 1924. It was the nation's fifth appearance in the sport as well as the Games. The four medals, including one gold, won by Belgian fencers put the country second on the sport's medal leaderboard for the year.

All four épéeists reached the twelve-man final, with Delporte winning the gold medal. The épée won silver, giving four-time Olympian Paul Anspach his fifth Olympic fencing medal 16 years after he won his first. Van Damme took bronze in the foil, as the team took silver, to give Belgium its first medals in foil fencing.
