The men's triple jump, also known as the hop, step, and jump, was a track and field athletics event held as part of the Athletics at the 1912 Summer Olympics programme.

[2] The event was won by Gustaf Lindblom of Sweden, the nation's first medal in the men's triple jump.

Georg Åberg and Erik Almlöf also medaled for Sweden, completing a sweep—previously accomplished twice by the United States in 1900 and 1904.

Four jumpers from 1908 returned: bronze medalist Edvard Larsen of Norway, fourth-place finisher Calvin Bricker of Canada, fifth-place finisher Platt Adams of the United States, and also-competed Juho Halme of Finland.

The competition was described as two rounds at the time, but was more similar to the modern divided final.
