According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the average height for an adult male in the United States is:
69.2 inches, or
5 feet 9.2 inches
This statistic for the average height for an adult male is from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted from 1999-2002.

Professor John Komlos, of the University of Munich, analysed data from the last 200 years for around 250,000 people.
He found that while Europeans are getting increasingly taller, Americans have "stopped growing."
In the 1800s, the Dutch were, on average, three inches shorter than Americans - now they are around three inches taller.

5' 8" is what I'd always heard for a man. But that seems a little short these days (especially since I'm 5' 9" and female).
