The men's artistic individual all-around competition at the 2016 Summer Olympics was held on 6 and 10 August 2016 at the HSBC Arena.

Kōhei Uchimura won gold, becoming the first male gymnast in 44 years (and third overall) to do this in two successive Olympic Games.

[1] Uchimura also became the second man to earn three all-around medals, matching countryman Sawao Kato with two golds and one silver.

Uchimura's victory was Japan's sixth in the men's all-around, tying the Soviet Union for most all-time.

There were places reserved for host country and continental representation, and the Tripartite Commission made an invitation.

The top 24 qualifiers in the qualification phase (limit two per NOC), based on combined score of each apparatus, advanced to the individual all-around final.
