The Standing high jump is an athletic event that was featured in the Olympics from 1900 to 1912. It is performed in the same way as high jump, with the difference being that the athlete stands still and jumps with both feet together.

Ray Ewry was the best, setting world records for the standing high jump (1.65 m on July 16, 1900) and the standing long jump (3.47 m on September 3, 1904).

One of the best results ever is 1.90 m by Swedish athlete Rune Almén.
