The 1924 Giro d'Italia of cycling was the 12th edition to take place. It was held from 10 May to 1 June 1924, with 12 stages stretching over 3,613 km, and was won by the Italian Giuseppe Enrici.

The 'start list' was reduced because of a strike, so the organiser Gazzetta dello Sport allowed independent riders to enter without support teams, as they provided bed, board and massage.^[1] The event was unique because of the participation of Alfonsina Strada, the only female competitor in the history of the Giro. Entry number 72 was granted to Alfonsin Strada to conceal her gender. She successfully completed the first 7 stages but a series of crashes and punctures between L'Aquila and Perugia led to her exclusion (such was her heroism that the organisers allowed her to continue each stage without inclusion in the overall classification). Her final time was 20 hours behind of the firs classified in Milan.^[1][2][3]
