The men's long jump event was part of the track and field athletics programme at the 1924 Summer Olympics. The competition was held on Tuesday, July 8, 1924.
34 long jumpers from 22 nations competed.
These were the standing world and Olympic records (in metres) prior to this competition.
Robert LeGendre, who did not compete in this event, set a new world record in the pentathlon contest one day earlier. He improved the old records:
The best six long jumpers, all four groups counted together, qualified for the final. In this case seven competitors were allowed to participate in the final, because two jumpers tied in sixth place in the qualification. The jumping order and the jumping series are not available.
Group 1
Group 2
Group 3
Group 4
The final was held on the same day.
