The men's foil competition of the fencing events at the 2023 Pan American Games was held on October 31 at the Paralympic Training Center.
The foil 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-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.
