The men's doubles tennis competition was one of five tennis events at the 1924 Summer Olympics. There were 76 players from 24 nations, forming 38 pairs. Nations were limited to two pairs each. The event was won by Americans Francis Hunter and Vincent Richards after five-set matches in both the semifinals and final against French pairs. It was the nation's second victory in the event, second-most behind Great Britain's three wins. Jacques Brugnon and Henri Cochet were the silver medalists, falling to the Americans in the final. Jean Borotra and René Lacoste had met Hunter and Richards in the semifinals, losing to them before winning the bronze-medal match against Jack Condon and Ivie Richardson of South Africa.

Francis "Frank" Townsend Hunter was an American tennis player who won an Olympic gold medal. He won the U.S. National Indoor Championships in 1922 and 1930 and the Eastern Clay Court Championships in 1919.
