The men's coxed pair event was part of the rowing programme at the 1920 Summer Olympics. The competition was held on 28 and 29 August 1920. It was the second appearance of the event, which had previously been held only at the inaugural rowing competitions in 1900. Four boats, each from a different nation, competed.[1] The event was won by the Italian boat in that nation's debut in the event, with Ercole Olgeni and Giovanni Scatturin the rowers and Guido De Felip the coxswain. France's crew (Maurice Monney-Bouton, Gabriel Poix, and cox Ernest Barberolle) took silver, the second consecutive silver for France. Switzerland (Édouard Candeveau, Alfred Felber, and cox Paul Piaget) earned bronze.
