Para powerlifting is one of the sports at the quadrennial Commonwealth Games.{{Cite book|url=https://thecgf.com/sites/default/files/2020-12/Constitutional%20Documents%20of%20the%20Commonwealth%20Games%20Federation%202020.pdf|title=Constitutional Documents of the Commonwealth Games Federation|publisher=Commonwealth Sport|access-date=14 January 2022|date=October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210117034800/https://thecgf.com/sites/default/files/2020-12/Constitutional%20Documents%20of%20the%20Commonwealth%20Games%20Federation%202020.pdf|archive-date=17 January 2021}} It has been a Commonwealth Games sport since 2002 (with core sport status through 2022), though it was initially held as part of the weightlifting competitions; in contrast to other parasports, it is categorised separately since the able-bodied equivalent is not a Games sport.
The sport made its debut as a single openweight competition for men in 2002; a women's openweight competition followed in 2010, and each gender has contested 2 weight classes since 2014. Nigeria has been the dominant nation in this sport, winning every single gold medal across five Games (and all medals awarded at Delhi 2010).{{cite news |last1=Coleman-Heard |first1=Rory |title=Commonwealth Games 2018: Nigeria's incredible reign continues in the para powerlifting |url=https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/commonwealth-games/commonwealth-games-2018-nigerias-incredible-reign-continues-in-the-para-powerlifting-ng-b88802702z |access-date=14 January 2022 |work=PerthNow |publisher=Seven West Media |date=10 April 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220114221720/https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/commonwealth-games/commonwealth-games-2018-nigerias-incredible-reign-continues-in-the-para-powerlifting-ng-b88802702z |archive-date=14 January 2022}}
