The men's foil fencing team competition at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin took place from August 2nd to 4th in the domed hall and in front of the House of German Sports in the German Sports Forum .

Each nation could nominate up to six athletes for their team. If a nation had already lost twice in the first round and in the quarter-finals after two fights, the last fight was not played, as the nations of this encounter were already qualified for the next round.

Italy was the Olympic champion, ahead of France and the German team.
