The men's 110 metres hurdles event was part of the track and field athletics programme at the 1924 Summer Olympics.

South Africa and Sweden each won their first 110 metres hurdles medals with Sydney Atkinson's silver and Sten Pettersson's bronze, respectively.

Carl-Axel Christiernsson of Sweden, who had finished sixth in 1920, was the only finalist to return in 1924.

The United States made its seventh appearance, the only nation to have competed in the 110 metres hurdles in each Games to that point.

George Guthrie finished third, but was disqualified for knocking over three hurdles, which was not in accordance with the rules in force at that time.
