The men's 2500 metres steeplechase was a track & field athletics event at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris.

The competition involved five laps of the 500 metre track, complete with standard hurdles as well as stone fences and a water jump.

Robinson and Chastanié were the two leaders for most of the race, with Newton and Orton behind them, while Wraschtil and Duhne lost contact with the other four.

Orton was in fourth place for most of the race, but finished strongly to catch Robinson, Chastanié and Newton in the final straight of the fifth lap, going on to win by ten yards.
