- Athletics at the 1900 Summer Olympics - Men's 60 metres

It was held on 15 July 1900. 10 athletes from 6 nations competed. Five preliminary heats were scheduled, though only two were actually held.

Final
The 60 metres final was a close race, with the two top Americans being separated by only inches and Rowley less than half a metre behind. It was each of the runners' second time running the 60 in less than an hour, as the final was held almost immediately after the preliminary heats.
