The men's sabre event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place on 27 July 2024 at the Grand Palais strip.
This was the 30th appearance of the event, which was the only fencing event to have been held at every Summer Olympics. The three-time defending champion Áron Szilágyi lost in the round of 32, making his first loss since 2008.

The 1996 tournament had vastly simplified the competition format into a single-elimination bracket, with a bronze medal match. Fencing was done to 15 touches. Standard sabre rules regarding target area, striking, and priority were used.
The competition was held over a single day, Saturday, 27 July. Men's sabre bouts alternate with the women's épée event bouts.[1]
