The 2024 FIM Speedway Grand Prix of Latvia was the ninth round of the 2024 Speedway Grand Prix season (the World Championship of speedway). It took place on 7 September at the Biķernieki Speedway Stadium in Riga, Latvia.[1] It was the 10th time that the Speedway Grand Prix of Latvia was held.

The event was won by Bartosz Zmarzlik (his 25th career Grand Prix win).[2] Zmarzlik was fortunate not to be excluded after a heat 4 crash with Mikkel Michelsen as the pair tangled. The referee Jesper Steentoft controversially excluded Michelesen, who sustained significant injuries to his right shoulder, humerus and elbow.[3]
