The men's modern pentathlon at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro was held on 19 August.

The medals were presented by Timothy Fok, IOC member, Hong Kong and Klaus Schormann, President of the UIPM.

The modern pentathlon consisted of five events, all held on the same day.

The format was slightly different from the typical modern pentathlon, with two events combined at the end.
