The men's épée competition of the fencing events at the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico, was held on October 24 at the Multipurpose Gymnasium.{{cite web|title=Fencing technical manual|url=http://www.guadalajara2011.org.mx/documentos/manuales/eng/technical/tm_fencing.pdf|publisher=Guadalajara 2011|accessdate=21 October 2011|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722230714/http://www.guadalajara2011.org.mx/documentos/manuales/eng/technical/tm_fencing.pdf|archivedate=22 July 2011}} The defending champion was Andrés Carrillo from Cuba.
The épée competition consisted of a qualification round followed by a single-elimination bracket with a bronze medal match between the two semifinal losers. Fencing was done to 15 touches or to the completion of three three-minute rounds if neither fencer reached 15 touches by then. At the end of time, the higher-scoring fencer was the winner; a tie resulted in an additional one-minute sudden-death time period. This sudden-death period was further modified by the selection of a draw-winner beforehand; if neither fencer scored a touch during the minute, the predetermined draw-winner won the bout.
