The 2024 Clemson Tigers women's soccer team represented Clemson University during the 2024 NCAA Division I women's soccer season. The Tigers were led by head coach Ed Radwanski, in his fourteenth season. The Tigers home games were played at Riggs Field in Clemson, South Carolina. This was the team's 31st season playing organized soccer, and all of those seasons were played in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The Tigers started the season ranked fifth in the country, but suffered a 4–0 defeat to unranked Auburn to start the season. A defeat of High Point could not save them from falling out of the rankings after the first week. After the High Point win, the Tigers won three more games, including a 3–0 win over Power 5 opponent West Virginia. They returned to the rankings at number twenty five before tying rival South Carolina and Charlotte to end the non-conference regular season 4–1–2. The start of ACC play was difficult for the Tigers, as they lost their first four ACC games. The losses included defeats to third ranked Duke and sixth ranked Florida State. They won their next two games against Boston College and Miami before dropping their next three games. Two of the three losses were to ranked teams in fourth ranked North Carolina and twenty fourth ranked Virginia. They ended their season with a 0–0 tie against Louisville.

The Tigers finished the season 6–8–3 overall and 2–7–1 in ACC play to finish in fourteenth place. They did not qualify for the ACC Tournament and were not invited to the NCAA Tournament. Their six overall wins were the lowest since 2012 and tied for the lowest in the time since Radwanski has been head coach. Their two conference wins were also the lowest since 2012. By not earning an invite to the NCAA tournament, they broke a streak of qualifying for ten consecutive tournaments.

The Tigers finished the season 18–4–4 overall and 7–2–1 in ACC play to finish in third place. As the third seed in the ACC Tournament they defeated Wake Forest in the First Round and Notre Dame in the Semifinals. They faced off against Florida State in the final and lost 2–1. They received an at-large invitation to the NCAA Tournament where they were a one-seed in the Clemson Bracket and earned home field advantage until the College Cup. They defeated Radford in the First Round, Columbia in the Second Round, and advanced in a penalty shoot-out over Georgia in the Round of 16. The Tigers faced second seed Penn State in the Quarterfinals and won 2–1 and advanced to their first College Cup in program history. ^[1] In the College Cup, Clemson faced Florida State for the third time during the season, and lost 2–0, to end their season.
