1969 US Open – Men's singles

Rod Laver defeated Tony Roche in the final, 7–9, 6–1, 6–2, 6–2 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 1969 US Open. It was his second US Open singles title and eleventh and last Grand Slam tournament singles title overall. With the win, he completed the Grand Slam, and remains the only man in the Open Era to do so in singles. Laver also became the second man in history to complete the double career Grand Slam, after Roy Emerson.

Arthur Ashe was the defending champion, but lost in the semifinals to Laver.

1969 would be the last year that a player reached all four men's singles major finals until 2006, when Roger Federer did so.
