Template:Short description Template:Infobox Olympic event
Jeu de paume was an event contested at the 1908 Summer Olympics, the only time the Summer Olympic Games featured the sport as a medal event.
In the Official Report of the 1908 Olympic Games, the sport is referred to as "Tennis (jeu de paume)", while tennis is referred to as "lawn tennis". The competition venue was the Queen's Club in West Kensington, London.
An outdoor version called longue paume was played at the 1900 Summer Olympics, though its medal status is disputed. Jeu de paume is sometimes referred to as being an exhibition sport at the 1924 Summer Olympics,<ref name="Duncan 2012">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> though this is unclear, as the French Federation of Longue Paume held its national longue paume championships during the Olympics.<ref name="Federation francaise de longue paume">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
