The men's 100 metres at the 2022 World Athletics Championships was held at the Hayward Field in Eugene on 15 and 16 July 2022.Timetable 76 athletes from 53 nations entered to the competition.

Summary The defending champion Christian Coleman got his customary fast start, with Marvin Bracy, Abdul Hakim Sani Brown and Aaron Brown all out fast on the opposite side of the track. By 40 metres Bracy and Coleman were clear leaders with Fred Kerley just an arm's length back. Over the next 20 metres, Bracy separated to a full metre over Kerley as Coleman was straining. Next to last out of the blocks, Trayvon Bromell came back to pass Coleman with 30 metres to go as all four American sprinters occupied the top places with Bromell about even with Kerley and Bracy clearly ahead. In the three steps from 20 to 10 metres before the finish, Kerley made up the gap on Bracy and in the final 10 metres edged ahead. Bracy began to lean early straining for the finish, almost being caught by Bromell for silver, the medal decided by 2 thousandths of a second.

In the premiere event of the games, USA achieved a sweep at home. Meanwhile, defending 2021 Olympic gold medalist, Marcell Jacobs of Italy, ran a 10.02 in his opening heat and withdrew from the semi-finals, citing a thigh injury.
