The 1929 24 Hours of Le Mans was the 7th Grand Prix of Endurance, and took place on 15 and 16 June 1929.

Prior to the event, the ACO modified the course near the actual town of Le Mans so that it did not enter as far into the suburbs. The shortcut was built at the ACO's expense, and shortened the track length by approximately a kilometer.
