The 1924 Idaho Vandals football team represented the University of Idaho as a member of the Northwest Conference and the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) during the 1924 college football season. Led by third-year head coach Robert L. Mathews, the Vandals compiled an overall record of 5–2–1. Idaho had a record of 4–0–1 in Northwest Conference play, sharing the conference title with Gonzaga, and 4–2 against PCC opponents, tying for fourth place.[1] The team played home games on campus, at MacLean Field in Moscow, Idaho.

The Vandals lost to the eventual PCC champion, Stanford, at Multnomah Field in Portland, Oregon. Idaho defeated neighbor Washington State again in the Battle of the Palouse,[2][3] the second of three consecutive wins over the Cougars in the rivalry.

The four PCC wins were the most ever for Idaho; their next best total was two, achieved six times, last in 1938.
