The 2024 Syracuse Orange women's soccer team represented Syracuse University during the 2024 NCAA Division I women's soccer season. The Orange were led by head coach Nicky Adams, in her sixth season. They played home games at SU Soccer Stadium in Syracuse, New York. This was the team's 28th season playing organized women's college soccer, and their 11th playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The season started well with a win over UMass. The team followed that with a tie against Maine before winning three straight games. That winning streak included a win over Power 5 opponent Northwestern. The streak was broken by a loss to Colgate on September 1. The Orange finished their non-conference schedule with two more wins to finish 6–1–1. Their positive results did not carry into the ACC season, as they lost their first seven ACC games. They had close results at Virginia Tech and at North Carolina, only losing each game by a single goal. In that seven-game stretch, they played four ranked teams, including three who were in the top ten at the time of the match. Their first ACC point came agasint NC State on October 17, a 1–1 draw. The Orange lost their final two games, both by a score of 1–2.

The Orange finished the season 6–10–2, 0–9–1 in ACC play to finish in seventeenth place. They did not qualify for the ACC Tournament. They were not invited to the NCAA Tournament.
