The men's pole vault at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place on 3 and 5 August 2024 at Stade de France.

Sweden's Armand Duplantis won his second consecutive Olympic gold medal, setting a world record of 6.25 metres (20 ft 6 in).

Aside from Duplantis, Lightfoot, and Kendricks, only four other contemporary vaulters have recorded vaults of over 6 meters: Thiago Braz while winning the 2016 Olympics, Piotr Lisek, Chris Nilsen, and EJ Obiena.

Only Duplantis cleared 6.00 m (on his first attempt) and the medals were settled; Obiena's earlier miss at 5.80 m gave Karalis the bronze and Kendricks silver.

Having secured the gold medal, Duplantis asked for the bar to be set to an Olympic record 6.10 m (20 ft 3⁄16 in), which he cleared easily.

One of the more memorable moments of the 2024 Olympics athletics programme—and of the 2024 Games as a whole—happened during the qualification round of the men's pole vault, when French competitor Anthony Ammirati failed one of his jumps when the bar appeared to be struck by his penis.
