The 2024 Oregon Ducks football team represented the University of Oregon as a member of the Big Ten Conference during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Ducks were led by third-year head coach Dan Lanning and they played their home games at Autzen Stadium located in Eugene, Oregon.
This was the Ducks' first season in the Big Ten. Following a 35–0 road win against Purdue, the Ducks started 7–0 for the first time since 2013. The Ducks achieved their first undefeated regular season since 2010 following a 49–21 win against rival Washington. It also marked the first time in program history that the Ducks reached a 13–0 record, following their first ever Big Ten championship in which they defeated the Penn State Nittany Lions 45–37. The Ducks' season ended with a loss in the Rose Bowl to the eventual national champion Ohio State Buckeyes, 41–21.
Despite the loss in the College Football Playoff, the Ducks were named the national champions by Wolfe Ratings and Anderson & Hester, both being major NCAA selectors. However, the program does not officially claim the championship. The Ducks finished the 2024 season ranked 3rd in the AP Poll and 4th in the Coaches Poll, and Ohio State won the College Football Playoff and consensus national championship.
