# Table tennis at the 2008 Summer Paralympics – Men's individual – Class 4–5

The Men's Individual Class 4-5 table tennis competition at the 2008 Summer Paralympics was held between 7 September and 11 September at the Peking University Gymnasium.
Classes 1-5 were for athletes with a physical impairment that affected their legs, who competed in a sitting position. The lower the number, the greater the impact the impairment was on an athlete’s ability to compete.
The event was won by Christophe Durand, representing France.
