Athletes from the Netherlands competed at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.

The 4x100 metre relay team won the nation's first Olympic athletics medal, a bronze.

De Best's bye in the round of 16 and quarterfinal win made him the first Dutch boxer to reach the semifinals; he lost his semifinal and bronze medal bouts to take fourth place.

Willems won the 50 kilometre title, aided by a well-planned and well-executed early attack by Maas.

[2] Peeters, the defending sprint champion, was unable to advance to the semifinals; Meijer was nearly able to take the title himself, finishing second in the final to win silver.

Peeters did win a medal, however, taking the tandem bronze along with Bosch.

The Dutch riders won both the individual and team eventing gold medals, with Adolf van der Voort van Zijp taking the individual honor.
