Athletics at the 1996 Summer Olympics - Men's 4 x 100 metre relay

These are the official results of the men's 4 x 100 metres relay event at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. There were 37 nations competing.

Canada won the gold medal with the United States claiming the silver and Brazil taking the bronze. It was the second time an American men's 4 x 100 relay team failed to win the gold medal after qualifying for the final. The only other occasion was at the 1960 Olympics when the American team was disqualified for an illegal baton exchange. [http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/1960/OR1960v2pt1.pdf]
