The 2024 World Seniors Championship (officially the 2024 Mr Vegas World Seniors Championship) was a snooker tournament that took place from 8 to 12 May 2024 at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England, the sixth consecutive year that the tournament was held at the venue. Open to all players over 40 who were ranked outside the top 64 in the snooker world rankings, the event was the 15th edition of the World Seniors Championship, first held in 1991. Organised by the World Seniors Tour, the event was broadcast in the United Kingdom by Channel 5 and internationally by other broadcasters.
Jimmy White was the defending champion, having defeated Alfie Burden 5–3 in the 2023 final, but he lost 0–3 to Igor Figueiredo in the quarter-finals. Figueiredo went on to win the title beating Ken Doherty 5–2 in the final. Figueiredo thus qualified for the 2024 Champion of Champions event. A total of three century breaks were compiled during the event's main stage, the highest being a 119 made by Figueiredo.
