The 2024 World Snooker Championship was a professional snooker tournament that took place from 20 April to 6 May 2024. It was organised by the World Snooker Tour and formed the 17th and final ranking event of the 2023–24 season.
It was played at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England; it was the 48th consecutive year that the World Snooker Championship was staged at that venue. The qualifying rounds took place from 8 to 17 April at the English Institute of Sport, also in Sheffield. The tournament's title sponsor was car retailer Cazoo, so it was promoted as the 2024 Cazoo World Snooker Championship. The event was broadcast domestically in the United Kingdom by the BBC, Eurosport, and Discovery+, as well as by other broadcasters worldwide. The winner received £500,000 from a total prize fund of £2,395,000.
Kyren Wilson won the event, defeating qualifier Jak Jones 18–14 in the final and becoming the 28th world champion. Wilson had defeated Dominic Dale, Joe O'Connor, John Higgins and David Gilbert in the earlier rounds.
Luca Brecel was the defending champion, having defeated Mark Selby in the 2023 final. Brecel lost in the first round to David Gilbert. As a first time champion, he was unable to overcome the Crucible curse and he was the 19th first time champion who was unable to defend his title at the venue. Over the whole tournament, players made 63 century breaks and a further 122 in qualification. In the third round of qualifying, Noppon Saengkham made a maximum break.
