Group A of UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying was one of the ten groups to decide which teams would qualify for the UEFA Euro 2024 final tournament in Germany. Group A consisted of five teams: Cyprus, Georgia, Norway, Scotland and Spain. The teams played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format.
Originally Gibraltar had been drawn in this group, but they were moved to group B due to Spain not being willing to play them because of the disputed status of Gibraltar.
The top two teams, Spain and Scotland, qualified directly for the final tournament. The participants of the qualifying play-offs were decided based on their performance in the 2022–23 UEFA Nations League.
