The 2024 Next Generation ATP Finals was a men's exhibition tennis tournament for the eight highest-ranked singles players on the 2024 ATP Tour who are aged 20 and under. It was held from 18 December to 22 December 2024 at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

This was the first tournament to be played under the new rules which included lowering the age threshold from 21-and-under to 20-and-under.[1]

João Fonseca defeated Learner Tien, 2–4, 4–3(10–8), 4–0, 4–2 to win the title. Ranked as the world No. 145, Fonseca became the lowest ranked champion in the tournament's history.

Hamad Medjedovic was the reigning champion but was ineligible to defend his title due to his age.[2]
