The men's individual time trial was a road bicycle racing event held as part of the cycling at the 1912 Summer Olympics programme. It was the first appearance of the event. The competition was held on Sunday July 7, 1912. The course was 320 kilometers (198.8 miles) long and the cyclists started at two minute interval, starting at 2:00 a.m.[1]

The track had been used for the annual one day race Mälaren runt [sv] since 1901. The race started at Liljeholmsbron, Stockholm. Intermediate times were measured at six control stations around the track: Eskilstuna (120 km), Köping (165 km), Västerås (200 km), Enköping (231 km), Bålsta (265 km) and Järva (315 km).
