The South African was a hugely convincing winner of the 400m - T44 in a new Paralympic record 46.68, more than three seconds ahead of the field.
After a shock 200m loss and an expected 100m one, the 400m was the one title the 25-year-old wanted to keep hold of more than any other.
Pistorius came into the race with a personal best more than five seconds quicker than the next fastest in the race, none of whom had broken the 50-second barrier. Pistorius can get close to 45 at his best.
Alan Fonteles Oliveira, the 200m - T44 champion, was in the lane outside him and for the first half of the race looked like he might pose a challenge.
But Pistorius came into the home straight with a clear lead and, as the Brazilian tired badly, USA athlete Blake Leeper came into second and compatriot David Prince third. Oliveira was fourth.
Pistorius said: 'For one of the first times I thought I could actually hear something coming into the home straight.
'Usually I'm so focused and so in my zone, but I could hear the crowd and it was just the most amazing feeling that I could have possibly had.
'This has been the most phenomenonally successful Olympic and Paralympic Games and I think the world is finally seeing that Paralympic sport is truly elite.'
