La 24 Ore di Le Mans 2008 è stata la 76ª maratona automobilistica svoltasi sul Circuit de la Sarthe di Le Mans, in Francia, il 14 e il 15 giugno 2008, organizzata dall'Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO). Hanno gareggiato assieme 4 classi di automobili da competizione, ognuna delle quali ha avuto il suo vincitore. Le vetture più veloci, appartenenti alle classi LMP1 e LMP2, erano Sport Prototipi di categoria Le Mans Prototype appositamente progettati e costruiti per le gare, mentre le più lente classi GT1 e GT2 comprendevano vetture derivate da automobili GT stradali.
Tom Kristensen vincendo per l'ottava volta la corsa stabilì il nuovo record di vittorie in questa competizione, mentre i suoi compagni di equipaggio, Rinaldo Capello e Allan McNish arrivarono rispettivamente a 3 e 2 edizioni vinte. Fu anche il terzo successo consecutivo per la Audi R10 TDI a motore diesel, anche se ottenuta con un equipaggio diverso nei due anni precedenti (Biela-Werner-Pirro).
