The men's discus throw was a track & field athletics event at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris.

The top two men from 1896, Robert Garrett of the United States and Panagiotis Paraskevopoulos of Greece, returned to competition.

All six of the nations that competed in 1896 returned in 1900: Denmark, France, Great Britain, Greece, Sweden, and the United States.

The landing area was unusually narrow ("basically a lane through two rows of trees"), causing difficulties in making legal throws.

Von Lubowiecki missed the qualifying round but was permitted to throw on the second day; he did not achieve a top-five result.
