The men's 10000 metres was a track and field athletics event held as part of the Athletics at the 1912 Summer Olympics programme. It was the debut appearance of the event, which along with the 5000 metres replaced the 5 mile race held at the 1908 Summer Olympics.
Hannes Kolehmainen, in winning the first semifinal, set the Olympic record at 33:49.0. It lasted until the next race, in which the time was beat by Leonard Richardson. Kolehmainen took back the record with a time of 31:20.8 in the final.
