The men's 100 metres was a track and field athletics event held as part of the Athletics at the 1912 Summer Olympics programme. It was the fifth appearance of the event, which is one of 12 athletics events to have been held at every Summer Olympics.

The Olympic record for the 100 metres coming into 1912 was 10.8 seconds. It was matched by David Jacobs of Great Britain in the 10th heat before being broken by American Donald Lippincott's 10.6 second time in the 16th heat. Three semifinalists, including Lippincott, ran the race in 10.7 seconds, but the new record of 10.6 seconds stood for the rest of the event.
