Wrestling at the 2012 Summer Olympics were held between 5 and 12 August, the final day of the Games, at ExCeL London.

It was split into two disciplines, Freestyle and Greco-Roman which were further divided into different weight categories.

Men competed in both disciplines whereas women only took part in the freestyle events, with 18 gold medals awarded.

Wrestling has been contested at every modern Summer Olympic Games, except Paris 1900.

Wrestlers determined by lot competed in qualification rounds to reduce the number to 16, thereafter proceeding by simple knockout to determine the finalists who competed for gold and silver.
