The 2024 Shanghai Diamond League was an outdoor track and field meeting on 27 April 2024. Last held at Shanghai Stadium in 2019, this meeting relocated 67 kilometres (42 mi) west to Suzhou Olympic Sports Centre. This was the first meeting in China after the COVID-19 pandemic in China. The meeting was officially advertised as the 2024 Yangtze Delta Athletics Diamond Gala. It was the second leg of the 2024 Diamond League, just one week after the 2024 Xiamen Diamond League.[1]

At the meeting, Sha'Carri Richardson was upset by Daryll Neita in the women's 200 metres. Selemon Barega won the 5000 metres as expected, but 17-year-old Biniam Mehary surprised to place second.[2]
