The men's kite competition of the sailing events at the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago was held from October 28 to November 3 at the Cofradia Nautica del Pacifico.

Points were assigned based on the finishing position in each race (1 for first, 2 for second, etc.). The points were totaled from the top 13 results of the first 16 races, with lower totals being better. If a sailor was disqualified or did not complete the race, 10 points were assigned for that race (as there were 9 sailors in this competition). The top 4 sailors at that point competed in the final race.

Bruno Lobo from Brazil dominated the regatta to finish ahead of his opponents for the title. Tiger Tyson from Antigua and Barbuda was the runner-up and Deury Javier from Dominican Republic received the bronze medal.[1]
