The men's '''ice hockey''' tournament at the '''1988 Winter Olympics''' in [[Calgary, Alberta|Calgary]], [[Canada]], was the 16th [[Ice hockey at the Olympic Games|Olympic Championship]]. The [[Soviet national ice hockey team|Soviet Union]] – in their last Winter Olympics as a unified nation – won its seventh gold medal, surpassing [[Canada men's national ice hockey team|Canada]] for most in Olympic ice hockey at that point (Canada won its ninth in [[2014 Winter Olympics|2014]]).  The silver medal was won by [[Finland men's national ice hockey team|Finland]], marking its first ever Olympic ice hockey medal.  Sweden won the bronze medal.  Games were held in the [[Scotiabank Saddledome|Olympic Saddledome]], the [[Stampede Corral]], and [[Father David Bauer Olympic Arena]].

The IIHF did not run a championship in Olympic years at this time. Nations that did not participate in the Calgary Olympics were invited to compete in the [[1988 Thayer Tutt Trophy|final]] [[Thayer Tutt Trophy]].

The top eleven nations from the [[1987 World Ice Hockey Championships|1987 World Championships]] (eight from pool A, top three from pool B) qualified directly, while the twelfth ranked nation had to play off against the winner of that year's pool C.
