Only five athletes started the 400 metres hurdles at Paris 1900. Two heats on 14 July reduced the field to four finalists, but William Lewis, who qualified second in the first heat, did not start the final, probably because it was held on a Sunday. Walter Tewksbury won the three-man final on 15 July in 57.6 seconds.
