The 2024–25 ISU Junior Grand Prix was a series of junior international competitions organized by the International Skating Union that were held from August 2024 through December 2024. It was the junior-level complement to the 2024–25 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating. Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. Skaters earned points based on their placement at each event, and the top six in each discipline qualified to compete at the 2024–25 Junior Grand Prix Final in Grenoble, France.
Competitions The locations of the JGP events change annually. One event was to be held in Épinal, France, but was withdrawn by the French Federation of Ice Sports and the spot re-allocated to Wuxi, China. Additionally, the Junior Grand Prix Final was originally to be held in Orléans, France, but the French Federation of Ice Sports relocated the event to Grenoble. This season, the series included the following events.

Medal table
Qualification At each event, skaters earn points toward qualification for the Junior Grand Prix Final. Following the seventh event, the top six highest-scoring skaters/teams advance to the Final. The points earned per placement are as follows:
Placement Singles Pairs/Ice dance 1st 15 15 2nd 13 13 3rd 11 11 4th 9 9 5th 7 7 6th 5 5 7th 4 4 8th 3 3 9th 2 rowspan="2" 10th 1
There were originally seven tie-breakers in cases of a tie in overall points: Highest placement at an event. If a skater placed 1st and 3rd, the tiebreaker is the 1st place, and that beats a skater who placed 2nd in both events. Highest combined total scores in both events. If a skater earned 200 points at one event and 250 at a second, that skater would win in the second tie-break over a skater who earned 200 points at one event and 150 at another. Participated in two events. Highest combined scores in the free skating/free dance portion of both events. Highest individual score in the free skating/free dance portion from one event. Highest combined scores in the short program/short dance of both events. Highest number of total participants at the events.
If a tie remained, it was considered unbreakable and the tied skaters all advanced to the Junior Grand Prix Final.
