The T54 category is for wheelchair athletes with no leg function, but near full arm function and reasonable to normal trunk function. Typically this may be caused by a lower spinal cord injury or spinal cord birth defect.

The Athletics at the 2016 Summer Paralympics – Men's 100 metres T54 event at the 2016 Paralympic Games took place on 16–17 September 2016, at the Estádio Olímpico João Havelange.

The heats were held consecutively on the evening of 16 September. 21 athletes were divided into three heats of seven athletes each. Qualification to the final was automatic for the top two athletes in each heat, and the fastest two losers also qualified for the final.
