The 2024 Michigan Wolverines football team is an American football team that represents the University of Michigan in the Big Ten Conference during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Led by first-year head coach Sherrone Moore, the Wolverines play home games at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Jim Harbaugh, who coached the team from 2015 to 2023, winning three consecutive Big Ten championships and a national championship in 2023, departed to become the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers of the National Football League (NFL).
