Wheelchair fencing at the 2016 Summer Paralympics was held in Rio de Janeiro from 4 September to 8 September 2016.[1]

## Classification[edit]

Fencers are given a classification depending on the type and extent of their disability. The classification system allows fencers to compete against others with a similar level of function. Fencing has two ability classes, A and B, two genders and three weapons, epee, foil and sabre. Wheelchairs were anchored to the ground during competition.
