These are the official results of the Men's 20 km Walk event at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia.

Igor Kollár garnered a "huge lead" over the pack, but he was disqualified as the judges deemed that he held two feet off the ground. Kollár claimed that the judges only disqualified him because he was so far ahead and they wanted a closer finish, a claim disputed by his coach.
