These are the results of the men's individual all-around competition, one of eight events for male competitors in artistic gymnastics at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. The qualification and final rounds took place on September 18, 20, and 22nd at the Olympic Gymnastics Hall.
Qualification
Eighty-nine gymnasts competed in the all-around during the compulsory and optional rounds on September 18 and 20. The thirty-six highest scoring gymnasts advanced to the final on September 22. Each country was limited to three competitors in the final. Half of the points earned by each gymnast during both the compulsory and optional rounds carried over to the final. This constitutes each gymnast's "prelim" score.
