The 2024 Chatham Cup final was a football match played at North Harbour Stadium in Auckland, New Zealand, on 7 September 2024 to determine the winners of the 2024 Chatham Cup. It was the 96th final of New Zealand football's primary cup competition, the Chatham Cup.

The final was contested between current National League champions Wellington Olympic and rivals Auckland City, who are current the OFC Champions League holders. This was the first time these two sides have met in the final.
