The 2024 Offaly Senior B Hurling Championship was the seventh staging of the Offaly Senior B Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Offaly County Board in 2018. The group stage placings were confirmed on 20 February 2024. The championship ran from 19 July to 5 October 2024.

Kilcormac–Killoughey entered the championship as the defending champions. They declined their automatic right to promotion due to the fact that their first team already participates in the Offaly SHC.

The final was played on 5 October 2024 at Glenisk O'Connor Park in Tullamore, between Kilcormac–Killoughey and Clodiagh Gaels, in what was their second consecutive meeting in the final. Kilcormac–Killoughey won the match by 1–13 to 0–09 to claim their second championship title overall and a second title in succession.
