Australia's Matthew Ebden and John Peers defeated the United States' Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram in the final, 6–7, 7–6, to win the gold medal in men's doubles tennis at the 2024 Summer Olympics. It was Australia's first Olympic gold medal in tennis since 1996. Ebden and Peers were the first unseeded pair to win the gold medal since Fernando González and Nicolás Massú in 2004. In the bronze medal match, Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul of the United States defeated Czechia's Tomáš Macháč and Adam Pavlásek, 6–3, 6–4.
