This is a list of Olympians who have won medals on numerous occasions in single events.
Only Olympians with four or more medals in one event are included.
Where two or more athletes have exactly the same number of gold, silver and bronze medals, the ranking is shown as a tie and the athletes are shown in order by career years and name.
This list includes top-three placings in 1896 and 1900, even though these Games pre-dated the awarding of medals for top-three placings.
Medals won in the 1906 Intercalated Games are not included.
