The men's 880 yard freestyle was a swimming event held as part of the Swimming at the 1904 Summer Olympics programme.[1] The length of 880 yards (804.672 metres) was slightly longer than the 800 metres. It was the only time the event was held at the Olympics; the men's 800 metre freestyle event was introduced 116 years later, at the 2020 Summer Olympics. 6 swimmers from 5 nations competed.
