The 2024 WDF Lakeside World Darts Championship is the third edition of the WDF World Darts Championship organised by the World Darts Federation (WDF). The tournament is held at the Lakeside Country Club in Frimley Green, Surrey, England.

Andy Baetens was the defending men's champion, but will not defend his title after winning a PDC tour card in January 2024.[1] Beau Greaves is looking to secure her third WDF World Darts Championship, having beaten Aileen de Graaf in the 2023 final.[2]
