The men's 105 kilograms weightlifting event at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom, took place at ExCeL London.^[1][2][3]

Total score was the sum of the lifter's best result in each of the snatch and the clean and jerk, with three lifts allowed for each lift. In case of a tie, the lighter lifter won; if still tied, the lifter who took the fewest attempts to achieve the total score won. Lifters without a valid snatch score did not perform the clean and jerk.

Russia's Khadzhimurat Akkaev and Dmitry Klokov were on the start list but did not compete.^[4] Akkaev later failed a drug test,^[5] and it was suggested that they did not compete to cover-up their use of performance enhancing drugs.^[6]

On 22 December 2018, it was announced that Ukraine's Oleksiy Torokhtiy, who had originally been the gold medalist, and Uzbek Ruslan Nurudinov, who had originally finished fourth, had tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs.^[7]

In May 2019, Nurudinov was disqualified,^[8][9] and in December 2019, Torokhtiy was also disqualified.^[10] Medals were reallocated.^[11]

All times are British Summer Time (UTC+01:00)
