Fencing at the 2008 Summer Olympics - Men's épée

The men's épée fencing competition at the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics took place on August 10 at the Olympic Green Convention Centre.

The épée competition consisted of a six-round single-elimination bracket with a bronze medal match between the two semifinal losers. Fencing was done to 15 touches or to the completion of three three-minute rounds if neither fencer reached 15 touches by then. At the end of time, the higher-scoring fencer was the winner; a tie resulted in an additional one-minute sudden-death time period. This sudden-death period was further modified by the selection of a draw-winner beforehand; if neither fencer scored a touch during the minute, the predetermined draw-winner won the bout.
