The 2024 season was the Washington Commanders' 93rd in the National Football League (NFL). It was the first season under the tandem of general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn, with other coaching staff additions including Kliff Kingsbury as offensive coordinator and Joe Whitt Jr. as defensive coordinator. The team improved their 4–13 record from 2023 to 12–5, marking their first winning regular season since 2016 and highest win total since 1991. The season also featured their first playoff win since 2005 and first NFC Championship Game appearance since 1991, both the longest active droughts in the conference, before losing to the division rival Philadelphia Eagles.

The season was the Commanders' eighth straight having a different quarterback start opening week, with previous starter Sam Howell traded during the offseason. The team held the second overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft and selected quarterback Jayden Daniels, who set the NFL record for most rushing yards in a season by a rookie quarterback. The season also featured the Hail Maryland, a game-winning Hail Mary pass against the Chicago Bears as time expired from Daniels to wide receiver Noah Brown.

Wide receiver Terry McLaurin, linebackers Frankie Luvu and Bobby Wagner, and kick returner Austin Ekeler were second-team All-Pro selections. McLaurin set the franchise record for touchdown catches in a season with 13. The team's offense ranked among the franchise's best, tying for the second-most total points in a season with 485.
