Baseball at the 2008 Summer Olympics inBeijing was held from August 13 to August 23. All games were played atWukesong Baseball Field, a temporary venue constructed at theBeijing Wukesong Culture & Sports Center. For the third time in Olympic competition,professional baseball players were eligible to participate, though no active players fromMajor League Baseball were available.

This was the last Olympic baseball tournament before theInternational Olympic Committee voted to remove baseball from the program in the2012 Olympics.^[1] Along withsoftball, baseball was rejected for inclusion in the2016 Summer Olympics at the IOC's meeting in October 2009.^[2] However, following a 2016 IOC vote, baseball wasagain included for the 2020 Games.^[3]

This was also the first time that the IBAF's new extra-innings rule was officially in effect, allowing each team to start with two base runners from the 11th inning on.^[4]South Korea won the gold medal in a 3–2 final victory againstCuba. TheUnited States won bronze.
