Roger Federer defeated Andre Agassi 6–3, 2–6, 7–6(7–1), 6–1 in the final to win the Men's Singles tennis title at the 2005 US Open. This was Agassi's last appearance in a Grand Slam tournament final.

This was the first US Open that future champions Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Stan Wawrinka competed in the main draw.

Noteworthy in this tournament was a strong performance by the American men, despite former champion and world #1 Andy Roddick losing in the first round.

Wildcard James Blake made the quarterfinal, upsetting #2 Rafael Nadal in the third round before eventually losing to Agassi in a five-set match.

Unheralded American Robby Ginepri, whose run was enhanced by Roddick's early defeat, made it all the way to the semi-final and lost to Agassi in another five- setter.

The seeded players are listed below. Roger Federer is the champion; others show the round in which they were eliminated.
