Jim Courier defeated Stefan Edberg in the final, 6–3, 3–6, 6–4, 6–2 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 1992 Australian Open. It was his first Australian Open title and second major singles title overall. By winning the title, Courier overtook Edberg as the new ATP world No. 1.
Boris Becker was the defending champion, but lost in the third round to John McEnroe.
Future world No. 1 and two-time major singles champion Pat Rafter made his first major appearance.
This was the first time overall in the Open Era that a semifinal match at a major resulted in a walkover. Courier received a walkover into the final after Richard Krajicek withdrew before the match, because of tendinitis in his shoulder.
