Athletics at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris were held between 1 and 11 August 2024, featuring a total of 48 medal events across three distinct sets: track and field, road running, and racewalking. Four venues were used: Pont d'Iéna for race walking, Hôtel de Ville and Les Invalides for the start and end points of the marathon races, and Stade de France for the track and field events.
The competition featured an identical number of medal events for men and women, the first instance in Olympic history. The marathon race walk mixed relay through a marathon course was contested for the first time at these Games, replacing the men's 50 kilometres race walk for co-ed sport.
