The 2023–24 Biathlon World Cup (official: BMW IBU World Cup Biathlon) is a multi-race series over a season of biathlon, organised by the International Biathlon Union (IBU). It is the 47th edition for men and 42nd edition for women of the highest international race series in biathlon.[1][2]

The season started on 25 November 2023 in Östersund, Sweden and will end on 17 March 2024 in Canmore, Canada.[3]

The highlight of the season is the 2024 Biathlon World Championships in Nové Město na Moravě, Czech Republic, whose results are not included in the World Cup standings (except for the national standings).

For the first time since the 2018–19 season World Cup races will be held in North America.

Johannes Thingnes Bø from Norway (men's) and Julia Simon from France (women's) are the reigning champions from the previous season.
