The 2024 Idemitsu Asia Talent Cup was the tenth running of the Asia Talent Cup, a motorcycle racing series organized by Dorna and sponsored by Idemitsu which is intended for young riders throughout Asia and Oceania. The season featured six rounds at circuits in Asia, with all but the second round being held as support races for the MotoGP World Championship. The season commenced at Lusail on 8 March, and concluded at Sepang on 3 November.

Japanese rider Zen Mitani dominated the championship, winning seven and finishing on the podium in ten of the season's twelve races to claim the championship title at the penultimate round in Buriram.[1][2] Mitani's compatriots Ryōta Ogiwara and Riichi Takahira finished second and third in the points, with fourth-placed Kiandra Ramadhipa's two victories making him the only non-Japanese rider to win a race.
