The 2024 FIBA U18 Women's AfroBasket was an international under-18 women's basketball competition that was held in Pretoria, South Africa from 2 to 14 September 2024.[1][2][3]

The tournament, which was also the 17th edition of the biennial competition, qualified the top two teams to represent FIBA Africa in the 2025 FIBA Under-19 Women's Basketball World Cup in the Czech Republic. This was the first time that South Africa organized this event.

Mali successfully defended the title and won this event for the ninth time.
