A plaque on Vasil Levski National Stadium, Sofia, Bulgaria, commemorating Valeriy Brumel's high jump world record of 2.25 m set on 31 August 1961

The first world record in the men's high jump was recognized by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) in 1912.

As of June 2009, the IAAF has ratified 40 world records in the event.[1]

Fourteen of the 16 records from 1912 to 1960 were set in the United States and were originally measured in feet and inches; they were converted to metric before being ratified as world records. As of January 1, 1963, records were accepted as metric marks, with marks measured in feet and inches to the nearest quarter-inch and rounded down to the nearest centimetre.[2]Template:Rp When measurements were taken in feet and inches the bar could be raised, for record-attempt purposes, in increments of one-quarter inch. Under the metric system, a new record must be (at least) one centimeter higher. In 1973, American Dwight Stones was the first Fosbury Flop jumper to set a world record. The namesake of the technique, Dick Fosbury impressed the world by winning the 1968 Olympics with the flop, but never held the world record. The last Straddle style jumper to hold the World Record was Vladimir Yashchenko (Soviet Union/Ukraine) in 1978; all record-setters since then have used the Flop technique.

The world record of Template:Convert by Cuban Javier Sotomayor in 1993 has never been surpassed.
