Boxing at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Men's 63.5 kg

This was the 27th appearance of the men's lightweight event. The event appeared at the first Olympic boxing tournament in 1904 and has been held at every Games with boxing (that is, excluding 1912) since. The maximum weight for the lightweight class had been 60 kg since 1952; for 2020, with the removal of the light-welterweight class, the lightweight class expanded from 56–60 kg to 57–63 kg.

Andy Cruz, the 2020 champion, did not participate. The only returning medalist was Harry Garside, but he lost in the round of 16. Erislandy Álvarez won the competition, becoming the Olympic champion. Sofiane Oumiha, who was also the 2016 silver medalist, won the silver medal, and Wyatt Sanford and Lasha Guruli became the bronze medalists.

Like all Olympic boxing events, the competition was a straight single-elimination tournament. The competition began with a preliminary round, where the number of competitors was reduced to 16, and concluded with a final. As there were fewer than 32 boxers in the competition, a number of boxers received a bye through the preliminary round. Both semi-final losers were awarded bronze medals.

Bouts consisted of three three-minute rounds with a one-minute break between rounds. A boxer may win by knockout or by points. Scoring was on the "10-point-must," with five judges scoring each round. Judges consider "number of blows landed on the target areas, domination of the bout, technique and tactical superiority and competitiveness." Each judge determined a winner for each round, who received 10 points for the round, and assigned the round's loser a number of points between seven and nine based on performance. The judge's scores for each round were added to give a total score for that judge. The boxer with the higher score from a majority of the judges was the winner.{{cite news|title=Boxing at 2024 Paris Olympics: Scoring rules, format and path to medal|url=https://www.sportskeeda.com/summer-olympics/boxing-2024-paris-olympics-scoring-rules-format-path-medal|publisher=sportskeeda.com|date=25 July 2024|accessdate=25 July 2024}}
