The Men's individual pursuit (CP 3) at the 2008 Summer Paralympics took place on 7 August at the Laoshan Velodrome. The pre-event favorite to win the gold medal was reigning champion, Darren Kenny of Great Britain.

Favourite, Kenny, managed to set a new world record in the preliminary round.^[1] The new record was 5.812 seconds^[2] faster than the previous record, which was set by Kenny in Alkmar in 2005.^[3] Javier Ochoa was disqualified for riding too close to his opponent in the preliminary round, after he had been overtaken by Kenny.^[4] Kenny stated that he was disappointed by this as he would have liked to compete against Ochoa in the final.^[3]
