The 2024 NCAA Division III baseball tournament was the 48th edition of the NCAA Division III baseball tournament. The 60-team tournament began on Friday, May 17 and concluded with the 2024 Division III College World Series at Classic Park in Eastlake, Ohio, which started on May 31 and will end on June 6.^[1] It is the first Division III baseball tournament held in Ohio since 1987.

60 NCAA Division III college baseball teams were selected, with 41 earning automatic bids as conference champions and 19 earning at-large bids awarded by the NCAA Division III Baseball Committee. Teams were divided into fourteen regionals of four teams, each of which conducted a double-elimination tournament, and two regionals of two teams, each of which conducted a best-of-five series. Regional champions then faced each other in Super Regionals, a best-of-three-game series, determined the eight participants in the championship.^[2]

In March 2024, Birmingham–Southern College announced that it would be closing on May 31 due to financial troubles. Its baseball team earned an at-large bid and raised $100,000 through a GoFundMe to compete, drawing national attention.^[3] The team won the Granville Super Regional and played its first game in the championship bracket on May 31, the day the university closed.^[4]

Misericordia won the national championship for the first time, defeating Wisconsin-Whitewater two games to one.
