The men's triple jump at the 2013 World Championships in Athletics was held at the Luzhniki Stadium on 16–18 August.

2 qualifier Yoann Rapinier and Gaëtan Saku Bafuanga Baya who squeaked in on a tie breaker, France looks to be the new triple jump power.

In the final round, defending champion and reigning Olympic champion Christian Taylor made his best effort to get on the medal stand, but 17.20 m (56 ft 5 in) was only good enough for fourth place.

His 18.04 m (59 ft 2 in) world leader and personal best left no doubt.

It increased his standing as the third best performer ever and moved him up as the third member of the 18-meter club.
