The 2024 Ole Miss Rebels football team represented the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Rebels were led by fifth-year head coach Lane Kiffin. The team played its home games at Vaught–Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi.

Expectations were high for the Rebels going into the 2024 season as they were coming off of a 2023 season in which they won Peach Bowl, went 11–2 on the season, and finished #9. They were #6 in the preseason polls and started out 4–0 before suffering a shocking 20–17 loss at home to unranked Kentucky. The next week, they rebounded by beating South Carolina 27–3 in Columbia, however the week after that, they lost 29–26 to #13 LSU in overtime despite the Tigers never having the lead during regulation. This loss caused the Rebels to fall to 5–2 and #18, but they rebounded with a home win over Oklahoma and a road win over Arkansas (the latter of which featured a record-setting performance from Jaxson Dart in which he threw for 515 yards and 6 touchdowns in a 63–31 rout of the Razorbacks). Following those wins, they were 7–2 and returned home to face the #3 Georgia Bulldogs, whose only loss was to Alabama in Tuscaloosa. In front of a then-record crowd of 68,126, Ole Miss' defense dominated the game and the Rebels won 28–10, securing Lane Kiffin's first Top 5 win as Ole Miss' head coach. Fans stormed the field in celebration (although they had to be pushed back initially as they went on the field too early when 16 seconds were still on the clock) and they tore down the goalposts. This win helped Ole Miss keep their Playoff chances alive as they moved up to #11 in the College Football Playoff rankings. Additionally, Jaxson Dart became the winningest quarterback in program history. The Rebels were upset 24–17 by Florida on November 22 and fell to #14. They beat Mississippi State 26–14 in Jaxson Dart's final home game as a Rebel. They were not selected for the College Football Playoff, but they did receive an invite to the Gator Bowl, which they won 52–20 over Duke to finish 10–3. This was the first time since 1959–1960 that the Rebels had back-to-back 10-win seasons. Jaxson Dart would go on to be selected to the All-SEC First Team.
