Track Cycling at the 2024 Summer Paralympics in Paris, France, took place at the Vélodrome de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines from 29 August to 1 September.
Events were held on tandem bicycles for visually impaired cyclists (B), and standard bicycles (C1-5). There were no track races for handbikes or tricycles, as these machines are unsuitable for the banked velodrome track. Seventeen events were held in total on the track, a third of the total cycling events at the Games. The short time trial (either 500 metres or 1000 metres ('kilo') and individual pursuit disciplines (over 3000 or 400 metres) were contested, along with one mixed classification team sprint event over 750 metres. There were no mass start races (e.g. scratch race, points race or omnium) in the program.
A number of the events were composite classification events for multiple classes to ensure viable numbers of entrants. Such events were subject to factoring, whereby finishing times are adjusted by a standardised percentage based on individual classification, to allow fair competition between classes.
The overall race programme was unchanged from 2021 in Tokyo.
