These are the official results of the men's 100 metres event at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain. There were a total number of 81 participating athletes, with ten qualifying heats (three qualified plus two fastest losers).

The gold medal was won by Great Britain's Linford Christie, who had originally won the bronze medal in the scandal-ridden race in 1988 but was elevated to silver following the disqualification of gold medalist Ben Johnson. Silver went to Namibia's Frankie Fredericks, who also finished second in the 200 metres at the same Olympics. Dennis Mitchell of the United States of America won the bronze.

The two central figures of the 1988 fiasco did not appear in the final. Carl Lewis, the eventual gold medalist in 1988 and two-time defending gold medalist entering 1992, failed to qualify for the race at all. Ben Johnson did, making it to the semifinals before bowing out.
