The 2024 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football team represents the Georgia Institute of Technology as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Yellow Jackets are led by Brent Key in his second full year as Georgia Tech's head coach. They play their home games at Bobby Dodd Stadium located in Atlanta, Georgia.

Georgia Tech is coming off its first winning season and bowl game since 2018. They have the 6th-hardest schedule in the country, according to 247 Sports.[1]

The Yellow Jackets began the season against Florida State at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland with an upset win. After a 2–0 start, the Yellow Jackets earned their first AP Poll ranking since 2015.[1] This was their second appearance in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic, after previously defeating Boston College in 2016.

After upsetting undefeated No. 4 Miami on November 9, Georgia Tech snapped a 13-game losing streak to top-five opponents and became bowl-eligible.[2] It was the Yellow Jackets' highest-ranked win since a victory over No. 4 Virginia Tech in 2009.
