Malaysia competed at the 2024 Summer Paralympics in Paris, France, from 28 August to 8 September. The country qualified 30 athletes in 8 sports. Subramaniam Raman Nair, secretary-general of the Paralympic Council Malaysia, was the chef de mission of the delegation.
Bonnie Bunyau Gustin and Nur Suraiya Muhamad Zamri were flag bearers of Malaysia in the opening ceremony. In the Parade of Nations, 24 participating athletes and officials wore traditional costumes designed by Rizman Ruzaini named 'The Malaya', featuring an olive green colour scheme and golden songket motifs to symbolise their gold medal aspirations like their Olympic counterparts. Similarly, the men wore the Baju Melayu Teluk Belanga, while the women wore the Baju Kurung with a kelubung.
Paralympic Council Malaysia set a four-gold medal target for the Malaysian delegation based on outstanding performances of three gold medals each at the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Games, but fell short as the delegation only managed to return with two golds, two silver and one bronze. Two of the three Tokyo 2020 gold medalists – shuttler Cheah Liek Hou and powerlifter Bonnie Bunyau Gustin retained their status in their respective events, with the latter broken a world record. On the other hand, Abdul Latif Romly had to settle for silver after losing to Neutral representative Matvei Iakushev due to an injury sustained during training.
