{{Boxing at the 1968 Summer Olympics}}

The Lightweight class in the boxing competition was the fifth-lowest weight class. Lightweights were limited to those boxers weighing a maximum of 60 kilograms (132.3 lbs). 37 boxers qualified for this category. Like all Olympic boxing events, the competition was a straight single-elimination tournament. Both semifinal losers were awarded bronze medals, so no boxers competed again after their first loss. Bouts consisted of six rounds each. Five judges scored each bout.{{cite web|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1968/BOX/mens-lightweight.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200418124715/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1968/BOX/mens-lightweight.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=18 April 2020 |title=Boxing at the 1968 Mexico City Summer Games: Men's Lightweight |work=Sports Reference |accessdate=9 December 2018}}
