The men's 10 metre platform, also known as the high diving competition, was one of two diving events on the diving at the 1908 Summer Olympics programme, along with the men's 3 metre springboard. The competition was actually held from both 10 metre and 5 metre platforms. Divers performed a running plain dive and a backward somersault from the 5 metre board, a running plain dive and a standing plain dive from the 10 metre board, and three dives of the competitor's choice from the 10 metre board. The competition was held from Monday 20 to Friday 24 July 1908.
