The 2024 Clemson Tigers baseball team were the varsity intercollegiate baseball team that represented Clemson University during the 2024 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Tigers competed in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and were led by second-year head coach Erik Bakich. Clemson played its home games at Doug Kingsmore Stadium in Clemson, South Carolina.

The Tigers started the season strongly, only losing one game in February, with their only loss coming in a 2–1 series win over Kennesaw State. The Tigers then went on an eleven-game winning streak, which extended from February 24 to March 13. The streak included two rivalry wins over number 19 South Carolina and a sweep of UNC Greensboro. The streak was ended with a loss at number 6 Duke, but the Tigers came back and won the series two games to one. The next big test for the Tigers was a series against number 12 Florida State. The Tigers swept the series, including a mercy-rule 15–5 win in the opener. They finished March 17–2. The team slowed down in April, finishing 10–6. They started with a sweep of Notre Dame before losing their first back-to-back games of the season on April 9 and 12. They lost their first series of the season on April 12–14, losing one game to two against NC State. The Tigers finished May 6–4. They won a series against Georgia Tech before getting swept by number 12 Wake Forest. They finished the regular season with a sweep of Boston College to end the season.

The Tigers finished the ACC regular season 40–13 and 20–10 in ACC play to finish as Atlantic Division champions. They were the second overall seed in the ACC tournament and were placed in pool B with Louisville and Miami. They lost to Miami 7–8 and defeated Louisville 8–7, but that was not enough to advance from the pool. They received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament and were the sixth overall seed. They were selected as hosts of a Super Regional for the first time since 2010. They defeated High Point and Coastal Carolina twice to advance to the Super Regional. They lost twice to Florida and were unable to advance to the College World Series.

The Tigers started the season sluggishly going 4–4 in February and losing their first three ACC Series. They were 17–14 overall and 2–8 in the ACC as of April 6, after the first game of their series against Florida State. The Tigers won their next two games in the series and their season turned around. The Tigers only lost three more games during the regular season, and finished 39–17 overall and 20–10 in ACC play to finish in second place in the Atlantic Division. They went into the ACC tournament on a twelve-game winning streak and were the third seed. The Tigers were placed in a pool with sixth seed Boston College and tenth seed Virginia Tech. After going 2–0 in pool play, the Tigers defeated North Carolina in the Semifinals and Miami (FL) in the Final to win their eleventh ACC tournament title. The Tigers earned the ACC's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament and were selected as the fourth overall seed. They won the opening game of the regional against Lipscomb to extend their winning streak to seventeen games. Their streak ended there as they lost to Tennessee in fourteen innings. The Tigers could not overcome Charlotte in the elimination game of the regional and their season ended.
