The men's foil was one of three Fencing events on the Fencing At The 1896 Summer Olympics programme. It was held on the second day of competition, 7 April . Eight fencers took part, with the preliminary fencing involving a round-robin held in two groups. The first group was Pierrakos-Mavromichalis, Delaborde, Callot, and Poulos. The second was Komninos-Miliotis, Balakakis, Gravelotte, and Vouros. The two fencers that were undefeated in their groups faced each other in the final for gold and silver medals, while Pierrakos-Mavromichalis was awarded third place as he had the best record (2-1) of the remaining fencers in actual bouts. Vouros's second win came from a forfeit by Komninos-Miliotis. MEDALLISTS RESULTS Preliminary round Group A Group B Final In the final, the two undefeated Frenchmen faced each other.
