The 2024 Sultan Azlan Shah Cup was the 30th edition of the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup, the annual men's invitational international field hockey tournament hosted by Malaysia. The tournament returned after a one-year hiatus after it was postponed in 2023 due to the packed calendar.[1] It was held at the Azlan Shah Stadium in Ipoh, Malaysia from 4 to 11 May 2024. The tournament consisted of six teams.[2]

The hosts Malaysia were the defending champions after winning their first title at the 2022 edition.[3] They were not able to defend their title as they did not qualify for the final. The final was played between Japan and Pakistan, where Japan beat Pakistan 3–1 in the shoot-out following a 2–2 draw in regulation time. It was the first Sultan Azlan Shah Cup title for Japan.[4] New Zealand won the bronze medal after defeating Malaysia 3–2.[5]
