The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2024 was the 22nd edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE). The contest took place on 16 November 2024 at Caja Mágica in Madrid, Spain, marking the first time that the contest was held in the country as well as the first Eurovision event in Madrid, and Spain in general, since the Eurovision Song Contest 1969. The contest was also the first since 2015 to be held on a Saturday.
Seventeen countries participated in the contest, with Cyprus and San Marino returning after six- and eight-year absences respectively, while the United Kingdom opted not to participate after doing so the previous year.
Georgia's Andria Putkaradze was the winner of the contest with the song "To My Mom". Portugal won the public vote and finished in second place, its best placing to date. Ukraine, France and Malta completed the top five.
