'''Le Mans 24 Jam 1968''' adalah acara perlombaan Grand Prix Ketahanan ke-36, dan berlangsung pada 28 dan 29 September 1968 di [[Circuit de la Sarthe]], di [[Le Mans]], [[Prancis]].

Awalnya dijadwalkan pada akhir pekan tanggal 15 dan 16 Juni, balapan harus ditunda hingga September karena protes, pemogokan, dan kerusuhan sipil di Prancis selama musim semi 1968. Penjadwalan ulang balapan meningkatkan peluang Prototipe Grup 6 melawan Grup 4 Mobil sport, sebagai mobil Prototipe baru telah matang selama musim tersebut. Itu juga meningkatkan jumlah kegelapan yang akan dialami para pembalap dibandingkan dengan bulan Juni, sekitar tiga jam: total 11 jam. Tanggal barunya menjadikannya babak kesepuluh dan terakhir Kejuaraan Olahraga Dunia 1968 dari kejuaraan yang menegangkan dan ketat antara Ford dan Porsche.

Pemenangnya adalah [[Pedro Rodriguez]] dan [[Lucien Bianchi]], di J.W. Otomotif Gulf-Oil Ford GT40. Meski Porsche finis kedua dan ketiga, kemenangan itu cukup memberi Ford gelar pabrikan.

Ada juga dua kecelakaan besar selama balapan yang mengakhiri karir balap Willy Mairesse dan [[Mauro Bianchi]] (adik laki-laki Lucien), yang keduanya mengalami luka bakar parah dalam kecelakaan tersebut.
