Fencing at the 1908 Summer Olympics

Template:Short description Template:Infobox Olympic event Template:FencingAt1908SummerOlympics At the 1908 Summer Olympics, four fencing events were contested.

The 1908 Games were the first to lack a foil competition. Foil fencing, "not being in the opinion of the organisers a form of sport which is improved by competition,<ref name=Foil>Official Report, p. 127</ref>" was held only as a display. The 1908 Olympics did introduce team sabre and épée competitions. As in the 1904 edition, the London Games held no events for masters; all fencing was done by amateurs.
