The 2024 K4 League was the fifth season of the K4 League, a semi-professional league and the fourth tier of men's football in South Korea.

During the regular season, each of the 13 participating teams played each other twice in a double round-robin system. Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors B won the league and gained automatic promotion to the 2025 K3 League.[2] Daejeon Hana Citizen B finished as league runners-up, which would have earned them promotion, however it was announced shortly before the end of the 2024 season that the team would not be participating in the 2025 season.[3]

At present, there is no relegation from K4 League to K5 League, an amateur league.
