Alberta Provincial Highway No. 24, commonly referred to as Highway 24, is a highway in southern Alberta, Canada, east of Calgary.
Highway 24 begins along the Trans-Canada Highway 10 km (6.2 mi) west of the Town of Strathmore and proceeds south past the Hamlet of Cheadle. At 6 km (3.7 mi) south of Highway 1, it crosses Glenmore Trail and intersects Highway 22X to the west and Highway 901 to the east at a four-way stop 9 km (6 mi) later.
Highway 24 continues south for another 6 km (3.7 mi) before it turns to the east. 5 km (3.1 mi) later, it passes Carseland, after which Highway 817 branches north toward Strathmore while Highway 24 crosses the Bow River on its way south. Wyndham-Carseland Provincial Park is on the east side of this stretch of road.
When Highway 24 meets Highway 547 westbound, it turns east and passes the Hamlet of Mossleigh. At Highway 547 eastbound it turns south for 20 km (12 mi) to its end at the junction of Highway 23 and Highway 542 north of Vulcan.
