Bolt, who ran the final in 19.78 seconds, never looked like being caught by the field.
He is the first man to win the 200m event at three Games in a row, and is still to race in the 4x100m relay.
He will turn 30 over the weekend.
Andre de Grasse of Canada took silver, while Christophe Lemaitre finished third to claim bronze for France.
