Paracanoeing

Great Britain earned quota places for the following events through the 2023 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships in Duisburg, Germany and the 2024 ICF Paracanoe World Championships in Hungary.

While each nation may only gain one quota place per event, a canoeist who gains such a quota can contest both events in their classification, meaning Great Britain can enter two canoeists in eight of the events, having won separate quota places in the kayak and outrigger events in the Men's L2 and L3, and Women's L2 and L3 classifications.

On 1 July 2024, Great Britain announced a team of nine canoeists including Jeanette Chippington who will be competing at her eighth Games having debuted in swimming at Seoul in 1988.
