Group B 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 B consisted of five teams: France, Gibraltar, Greece, the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland. The teams played against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format.[1]

The top two teams, France and the Netherlands, 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.
