Athletics At The 1924 Summer Olympics – Men's 10,000 Metres
The men's 10,000 metres event was part of the track and field athletics programme at the 1924 Summer Olympics. The competition was held on Sunday, July 6, 1924.

As for all other races the track was 500 metres in circumference. The exact number of starters is unknown, but photographs show around 35 competitors. At least 33 - maybe 36 - long-distance runners from 16 nations competed. Records These were the standing world and Olympic records (in minutes) prior to the 1924 Summer Olympics.
