The men's 4 x 100 metres relay event at the 1948 Olympic Games took place on August 6 & August 7. The United States team easily won the final, but was initially disqualified when officials thought the pass between Barney Ewell and Lorenzo Wright had taken place outside of the zone. After further review, officials reversed the decision giving the U.S. the victory.
