The 1924 Cincinnati Bearcats football team was an American football team that represented the University of Cincinnati as a member of the Buckeye Athletic Association during the 1924 college football season. In their third season under head coach George McLaren, the Bearcats compiled a 2–6–1 record (1–4 against conference opponents). Tony McAndrews was the team captain. The team played home games at Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati.
