The 2024 NCAA Division III men's ice hockey tournament was the culmination of the 2023–24 season, the 39th such tournament in NCAA history. Hobart successfully defended its championship by defeating Trinity 2–0. They became the first team to win consecutive championships since St. Norbert in 2011 and 2012.
==Qualifying teams==
In January, the NCAA approved the addition of a 13th bid for this season's NCAA tournament. The move was done to keep the ratio of 1:6.5 bids per Division III programs and, with the revival of MCLA, that necessitated 13 teams being part of the tournament field. The selection process remained unchanged and teams were sill selected according to the following manner: (Pool A) nine teams received bids as a result of being conference tournament champions from conferences that possessed an automatic bid, (Pool C) four additional teams received at-large bids based upon their records.

==Format==
The tournament featured four rounds of play. All rounds were single-game elimination.
Because there were four western bids, those teams were all placed into the same bracket. The remaining nine (eastern) teams were arranged so that the top three teams received byes into the quarterfinal round. The eastern teams that began in the first round were sorted as follows: the fourth eastern seed would play the ninth eastern seed with the winner advancing to play the third eastern seed; the fifth eastern seed would play the eighth eastern seed with the winner advancing to play the second eastern seed; the sixth eastern seed would play the seventh eastern seed with the winner advancing to play the first eastern seed. The four brackets were arranged so that the winner of the one containing the first overall seed would play the winner of the bracket with the fourth overall seed. The higher-seeded team played host in all first round and quarterfinal matches.
