The men's pommel horse event was part of the gymnastics programme at the 1924 Summer Olympics.

It was one of nine gymnastics events and it was contested for the third time after 1896 and 1904.

With Swiss gymnasts Jean Gutweninger and Antoine Rebetez taking silver and bronze, respectively, it was the second consecutive appearance of the event in which the event's medals were swept (United States, 1904).

The reigning (1922) world champion was Miroslav Klinger of Czechoslovakia.

The other seven nations (Czechoslovakia, Finland, France, Great Britain, Italy, Luxembourg, and Yugoslavia) were competing for the first time.
