The PZL P.24 was a Polish fighter aircraft, designed during mid-1930s in the PZL factory in Warsaw. It was developed as a dedicated export version of the PZL P.11, a gull wing all-metal fighter designed by Polish aeronautical engineer Zygmunt Puławski. To achieve this goal, the P.11's Bristol Mercury was changed for a Gnome-Rhône 14 (K or N supercharged) geared radial engine. The propeller was a 3-bladed Gnome-Rhône variable-pitch mark. The speed had been slighty increased and armament consisted of four machine gun and even two additional 20mm cannon for the latest variant. Sold to Turkey and Romania and Bulgaria, the Ellinikí Vasilikí Aeroporía (Royal Hellenic Air Force) was the only one to use type as a frontline fighter with some success against the Italian Regia Aeronautica before being outnumbered.

Production of the PZL P.24 variant led to a total of 217 airframes.
