The 2024 World Para Athletics Championships was a para-athletics meet organized by the World Para Athletics, the respective sport branch of the International Paralympic Committee.

This was the 11th edition of the event and was held at Kobe Universiade Memorial Stadium in Japan, from 17 to 25 May 2024. ^[1] This was the first time the event was held in East Asia. ^{[2] [3]}

The event was initially scheduled for September 2021 but it was rescheduled to avoid clashing with the 2020 Summer Paralympics which were rescheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ^{[4] [5]}

In January 2022, the organisers requested World Para Athletics for postponement of the event until 2024 due to COVID-19 concerns. ^[6] A week later, World Para Athletics confirmed that the event would not be held in 2022. ^[7]
