The 2024 Men's EuroHockey U21 Championship was the 21st edition of the Men's EuroHockey U21 Championship, the biennial international men's under-21 field hockey championship of Europe organised by the European Hockey Federation.

It was hosted by Atlètic Terrassa Hockey Club at Can Salas in Terrassa, Spain alongside the women's tournament from 14 to 20 July 2024.[1] The top six teams qualified for the 2025 Men's FIH Hockey Junior World Cup.[2]

The Netherlands were the defending champions, winning their tenth title by defeating the defending champions Germany 3–1 in the 2022 final.[3] They could not defend their title as the hosts Spain defeated the Netherlands 3–1 to win their fourth title.[4] Belgium won the bronze medal by defeating Germany 4–3.[5]
