The 2024 Arkansas Razorbacks softball team represented the University of Arkansas in the 2024 NCAA Division I softball season. The Razorbacks were led by ninth-year head coach Courtney Deifel and played their home games at Bogle Park in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Previous season

After a 38–16 regular-season campaign in 2023, the Razorbacks fell in their first game of the SEC tournament, which was hosted at Bogle Park, to Alabama by a one-run margin. Arkansas was selected to host an NCAA regional for the third consecutive season as the No. 11 national seed. They were paired with Oregon, Notre Dame, and Harvard; After a defeat of Harvard, the Razorbacks fell to Oregon, putting them in the consolation bracket. A win to eliminate Notre Dame put them in the regional final, needing two wins against Oregon to advance to the super regional, but a nine-run defeat to the Ducks ended Arkansas' season. The team finished with a record of 40–19.
