The men's canoe sprint C-1 200 metres competition at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro took place between 17 and 18 August at Lagoa Stadium.[1]

The medals were presented by José Perurena López, IOC member, Spain and Tim Cornish, Board Member of the ICF.

It was the last appearance of the men's C-1 200 metres. The men's C-1 200 metres and men's K-2 200 metres were replaced with women's C-1 200 metres and women's C-2 500 metres as part of the Olympics' move towards gender equality.[2]
