The 2024 Vuelta a España was a three-week cycling race that took place in Portugal and Spain between 17 August and 8 September. It was the 79th edition of the Vuelta a España and the third and final grand tour of the 2024 men's road cycling season. The race departed from Lisbon and finished in Madrid.
The race was won by Primož Roglič of team Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe for a record-tying 4th time.

Roglič won stages 4, 8, and 19, and on stage 19 also regained the lead in the GC. O'Connor held onto second place, his best finish in a grand tour, while Enric Mas of the Movistar Team finished in third.
