Athletics at the 1896 Summer Olympics – Men's long jump

The men's long jump was one of four jumping events on the Athletics at the 1896 Summer Olympics programme. There were nine contestants in the long jump, held on 7 April. The American jumpers proved themselves dominant in taking the top three spots. Clark's first two jumps were fouls, but his third was by far the best of the field.

The individual ranking of the fifth through ninth place contestants is unclear.
